Question: All of (we, us) boy scouts are going camping this weekend.
Answer given: "us"
Hi All,
Please help me with the above.
My questions: Why are we not using "we" here, since it seems like a subject pronoun and the plural form (as mentioned in the GmatClub Ultimate Grammar book - Page 62) is "we".

"We" is subject whereas "us" is object. All of we boy scouts are going camping this weekend. just sounds horrible. "we" cannot be used as the object. Kudos Please... If my post helped.

Thanks for your prompt response. Please correct me if I am mistaken: Subject: All Prepositional phrase: of us boy scouts noun phrase: us boy scouts; which is also the object verb: are going camping modifier: this weekend.

I'm not very sure but I think Subject : All of us (The entire phrase is the subject) Appositive: boy scouts Verb : are going camping Modifier: this weekend. This is just my opinion. An expert's advice would throw better light. Kudos Please... If my post helped.
