Sure ... i think this makes sense too
1)
Incorrect : Between you and I, the secretary is not a gentleman.
Correct : Between you and me, the secretary is not a gentleman.
But still this whole sentence itself sounds erroneous.
2)
Incorrect : Good students like you and he should study regularly.
Correct : Good students like you and him should study regularly.
Just wanted to confirm.
3)
Incorrect : If i were him, I would not misbehave like this.
Correct : If i were he, I would not misbehave like this.
Here i think i have answered correctly but i think there is still confusion between he/him especially when used in spoken English.
4)
Incorrect : Everyone announced one's plans in the presence of the President.
Correct : Everyone announced his/her plans in the presence of the President.
Please clear the usage of his or her.
5)
Incorrect : Every teacher and every student should do their duty.
Correct : Every teacher and every student should their duty.
Here i feel no change as indefinite pronoun every should itself take a singular pronoun but here there are two every expressions. Please clear.
Thanks
