<p>should it be:</p>
<p>It seems that all they can do is complain about how troublesome we young whippersnappers are. </p>
<p>or</p>
<p>It seems that all they can do is complain about how troublesome us young whippersnappers are.</p>
<p>should it be:</p>
<p>It seems that all they can do is complain about how troublesome we young whippersnappers are. </p>
<p>or</p>
<p>It seems that all they can do is complain about how troublesome us young whippersnappers are.</p>
<p>go with we on this one</p>
<p>is it the rule to always use we in this type of situation?</p>
<p>we is nominative case, us is objective case</p>
<p>nominative case performs the action and objective case receives the action</p>
<p>The easiest way to remember is to take the noun and its modifiers out of the sentence:</p>
<p>It seems that all they can do is complain about how troublesome we are. </p>
<p>or</p>
<p>It seems that all they can do is complain about how troublesome us are.</p>
<p>Whichever one works is correct in the sentence.</p>
<p>good trick :)</p>
<p>thanks .</p>
