PREPOSITIONS AND THE OBJECTIVE CASE

Common Stumbling Blocks - Peculiar Constructions - Misused Forms. Don't forget that prepositions always take the objective case. Don't say "Between you and I"; say "Between you and me" Two prepositions should not govern one objective unless there is an immediate connection between them. "He was refused admission to and forcibly ejected from the school" should be "He was refused admission to the school and forcibly ejected from it."
