A Teacher....

[excelsior-1]

......was having a little trouble getting her year 11 pupils to understand grammar, "These are what we call the pronouns", she said, "and the way we use them with verbs; I am, you are, he/she is..." she was saying, to glazed looks.

Trying a different tack she said, "Johnny, give me a sentence with the pronoun, "I" in it.
Johnny began, "I is..."

"No, no, no, no, no NO, NO!", shouted the teacher, "Never, 'I is', always, 'I am'... now try again".

Johnny looked puzzled and a little hurt, thought a while then began again more quietly,"I... am ...the ninth letter of the alphabet".

Flawed joke I'm pedantically sorry to say.

The teacher was right - in the sentence "I is the ninth letter of the alphabet", I is NOT a pronoun - the teacher asked for a sentence with the pronoun "I" in it.
