- Pronoun Case: Comparisons - At the end of a sentence, watch for pronouns that form part of a comparison: You know the river better than me. I can sing as well as them. To check for the proper pronoun case, complete the sentence with the words that were omitted from the comparison: You know the river better than I (know the river). I can sing as well as they (can sing). To keep things clear, it is most often best just to write out the entire thought of the sentence: You know the river better than I know the river.     or: You know the river better than I do. I can sing as well as they can sing.     or: I can sing as well as they can. - Pronoun Case: Emphatic Pronouns - As a matter of preferred form, we should try to avoid using an emphatic pronoun (myself, herself, etc.) when an ordinary personal pronoun will do: Panga and myself crossed the river. Panga and I crossed the river. Katokwe and yourself sang a duet, we learned. Katokwe and you sang a duet, we learned.
