with the negative subject; that in (4) "bread and milk" represents one
article of food; and that in (5) the individuals of the committee are
thought of, while in (6) the committee as a whole is thought of. In (5) and
(6) the agreement of the pronoun may also be noted. Pronouns may be
introduced into many of the preceding exercises and the pupils led to apply
to the agreement of the pronoun with its antecedent what has been learned
of the agreement of the verb with its subject. Let the pupils determine why
the following connected subjects are arranged in the proper order:--

1. You and I are invited.
2. Mary and I are invited.
3. You and Mary are invited.
4. You and Mary and I are invited.
