The girl wanted he to take her to the store.
The girl wanted him to take her to the store.
The girl wanted him to take her to the store, hisself.
The girl wanted himself to take her to the store.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The correct form of the masculine pronoun for this sentence is him because it is used as an object. He would be used if it was the subject, as in “He took her to the store.”
Himself is not correct at this place in the sentence, but could be used to emphasize who she wanted to take her, as in “She wanted him to take her to the store, himself.”
There is no such word as hisself. The correct word is himself.

QUESTION: 332 Topic - Section: Grammar

Which is the correct verb form to use in the blank in this sentence?
“Each player and coach on staff _____________for a new sports facility by next season.”

will have been hoping
hope
hoping
hopes

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The word each means that we are talking about a singular subject. Even though there may be more than one player or coach, each of them has this individual hope, so the verb must also be in the singular form, which is hopes.

Also, usually the connecting word, and would create a plural subject while using or would indicate a singular subject. Here, however, the use of each (see above) overrides this and the subject is still singular.

Note that, even though the word hopes appears to be plural, it is the singular form of the verb, to hope. In other words, it is the form of the verb that goes with all singular subjects: he hopes, she hopes etc. A plural subject, like they, would take the plural form of the verb, which has no s: hope (they hope).
