hammy: tag! you're it! Verne: not "it".."it" is an indefinite pronoun....i'm definitely a male turtle. I'm a he. hammy: tag! you're he! verne: Poor grammar. it's properly "tag! you're him." hammy: tag! you're a party pooper!! verne: I have never pooped a party in my life!
I love Verne, but he is incorrect. A predicate nominative of the verb to be requires a nominative pronoun. You are he is correct. You are him is very much incorrect. Now you see why I feel such a kinship with Verne.
