The sentence is: Mike let _____________ taste the food.

The answer choices include the subject pronouns, she and I, and also the object pronouns, her and me.

The verb would be let, so I'm assuming her and me are correct grammatically, but it doesn't sound right but that may just be because the word taste is right after that. Thoughts?


Sorry to just be seeing this now. the easy way to figure this kind of thing out is to just use one of the pronouns in the sentence. "Mike let I taste the food" doesn't work. that's how I always resolve the me/I issue is by using just that pronoun in the sentence. Whichever one fits by itself, works together with the other pronoun (chosen the same way).
