Bola invited Joe and _____ to the show.

Analyze the question The sentence is "Bola invited Joe and ____ to the show." We need the correct pronoun for the blank.

Explain the concept Pronouns change form depending on their role in the sentence:

• Subject pronouns (I, he, she, we, they) do the action.
• Object pronouns (me, him, her, us, them) receive the action.
• Reflexive pronouns (myself, himself) are used only when the subject and the object are the same person.

Solve step by step

1. The verb is "invited" and the subject is "Bola".
2. Who was invited? "Joe" and the blank. Both are objects of the verb "invited", so the blank needs an object pronoun.
3. Check each option: • A. I is a subject pronoun, so it is wrong here ("Bola invited I" is incorrect). • B. myself is reflexive. Bola is not the speaker, so a reflexive does not fit. • C. me is an object pronoun and fits correctly. • D. himself is reflexive and refers to no one appropriate, so it is wrong.
4. Quick test: remove "Joe and". "Bola invited me to the show" is correct, while "Bola invited I" is not.

Answer: The correct sentence is "Bola invited Joe and me to the show.

Exam tip When a pronoun follows "and" with another name, drop the other name and read the sentence with the pronoun alone. Your ear will quickly tell you whether it should be I or me. Remember also that reflexive pronouns (myself, himself) need a matching subject earlier in the same clause.
