Here are list of elementary questions for pronouns , but I was totally confused with the below questions.
Kindly help me out on this.
Q1:It's up to we/us geologists to warn the people of impending volcanic activity.
Answer: us
Confusion:here subject is geologists, and to define subject we use 1st case that should be "we", but answer is us
Q2:The boss was worried that we/us secretaries wouldn't do the work without additional compensation.
Answer:we
Confusion:again the subject seems to be Boss so secretaries should be objective/comparative so we should be using us but answer states we
Q3:I really don't appreciate you/your walking late into class every morning.
Answer:your
Confusion: How could your be correct as it is possesive, but I couldn't hint any posive activity in the aboceve sentence

Q1:It's up to we/us geologists to warn the people of impending volcanic activity.
Answer: us
Confusion:here subject is geologists, and to define subject we use 1st case that should be "we", but answer is us
if u have to ask it in a question form , it becomes 'It's up to whom to warn the people of impending volcanic activity? and whom is always replaced by him/her
Q2:The boss was worried that we/us secretaries wouldn't do the work without additional compensation.
Answer:we
Confusion:again the subject seems to be Boss so secretaries should be objective/comparative so we should be using us but answer states we
if u have to ask it in a question form , it becomes 'The boss was worried that who wouldn't do the work without additional compensation. and who is always replaced by he/her
Q3:I really don't appreciate you/your walking late into class every morning.
Answer:your
Confusion: How could your be correct as it is possesive, but I couldn't hint any posive activity in the aboceve sentence
if u have to ask it in a question form , it becomes 'I really don't appreciate whose walking late into class every morning. and whose is always replaced by his/their /your
so replace the pronoun with who/whose/whom and see what fits in, ans would be he/his/him respectively..
now try on other sentences and check..
hope it helped

Answer: us

"us" is not the subject. It is the object of preposition 'up to'. So you use 'us'.
Q2:The boss was worried that we/us secretaries wouldn't do the work without additional compensation.
Answer:we
Confusion:again the subject seems to be Boss so secretaries should be objective/comparative so we should be using us but answer states we
"that we/us secretaries wouldn't do the work without additional compensation." is a separate that clause. It has its own subject and verb. So we will take subject form.
Q3:I really don't appreciate you/your walking late into class every morning.
Answer:your
Confusion: How could your be correct as it is possesive, but I couldn't hint any posive activity in the aboceve sentence
'walking' is the object of the verb 'appreciate'. 'your' acts as an adjective of walking - whose walking? Your walking

"us" is not the subject. It is the object of preposition 'up to'. So you use 'us'.
