Don't say "we adults" when you should say "us adults".

Tuesday, January 5, 2016


Recently, I listened to a politician praising another popular politician. Hear what he said:

"He shows a good example to we politicians".

The person that made this statement is a very eloquent speaker and I knew he didn't even know that he erred there, as that is a very common blunder.

CAUTION: Sorry, the correct pronoun there should have been one in the objective form, and in this case "us" (not "we").

e.g.
"He shows a good example to us politicians".

Let me cite another example:

Children get to learn good conducts from us adults (not "...we adults.")

I hope you now know better?
