SAT Correction Thread

<p>I will be asking for your opinions on questions often so I decided to make a thread where I post questions and see if you can answer them. And why my answer is wrong.</p>

<p>What is the answer for the following Writing Question:</p>

<p>Q#25. The common cold is "one of our most" indiscriminate diseases; "it makes" no "distinction between" "you and me", millionaires and paupers, or athletes and couch potatoes.</p>

<p>I picked "you and me." What do you think? This one was very confusing.</p>

<p>I’m not a grammar expert, but I’m quite sure that “you and me” is grammatically correct. You wouldn’t say, “you and I,” would you?</p>

<p>The way “you and I” or “you and me” works is by taking out the you and reformatting the sentence.</p>

<p>“You and I went to the ball game.”</p>

<p>Take out the “you” and you have: “I went to the ball game.”</p>

<p>You and me went to the ball game. → Me went to the ball game. … Doesn’t make sense.</p>

<p>Or, “She took you and me to the ball game.” → “She took me to the ball game.” </p>

<p>But you probably know all of this. :)</p>

<p>I agree with rspense. The sentence is “no error”.</p>

<p>Where’d you learn that from? Where can I get more great examples like that? What book did you use? I really need to get these simple things straight.</p>

<p>no error in the sentence :)</p>

<p>“you and me” is totally correct since “me” is an objective pronoun and it came as the object of the preposition “Between” along with you !!
So the Sentence has NO ERROR !!..</p>

<p>@Aliases, that’s how English grammar works. If you suspect there’s a problem with pronoun usage, such as:</p>

<p>She took he and I to the restaurant.</p>

<p>You wouldn’t say, “She took he to the restaurant” or “She took I to the restaurant.” Both pronouns are wrong and the correct way to write the sentence is</p>

<p>She took him and me to the restaurant.</p>
