105. Practice – Object of the Preposition and Multiple Prepositions

Section A: The pronoun I is a subject pronoun. The pronoun me is an object pronoun. In each sentence below, decide if the missing word is acting as a subject or as the object of a preposition. Then choose the correct pronoun.
1. I hope (I, me) can take music lessons.
2. Cheryl and (I, me) are both in band.
3. Cheryl gave her book to (I, me).
4. After dinner, my mom and (I, me) will play the piano.
5. The piano was a birthday gift for (I, me).
6. I wonder if the lessons can be a gift for Cheryl and (I, me).
7. Maybe they will write a story about Cheryl and (I, me) in the newspaper.

Section B: Find the prepositional phrase in each sentence. Write the object of the preposition. Example: The dog ran across the lawn. The prepositional phrase is across the lawn. The preposition is across. The object of the preposition is lawn, so lawn is the answer.
