She Her

I have been having this problem with Keira, well its not really a problem, just really something that got me thinking.
She is forever getting her her's and she's muddles (or he's and his's). Saying things like:

"Look at she" or "What is her doing"

I was trying to think of a simple way of explaing the difference but it has me stumped.... Surey someone out there thats smarter than me can explain to me the difference....?
I know this makes me sound stupid but it has been buging me all day..
EARTHQUAKE! !




and Its still shaking.....ahhh

Ah, don't worry, it's a hard one to explain but she'll pick it up probably in the next 6-12 mos on her own anyway. It's harder here because we have very few 'hims' so any boy visitors are her's as well hehe

Lol, yeah we are mostly shes and hers here too
I'm really not worried about her, Its a tricky one and she does so well with everything else.
I think its just me that cant figure out why each is used at a certain time, surely there must be some rule?

Well I guess the 'rule' is roughly like this
If you are talking about someone (a female), you say "she": she said this, she is going out, etc
But her is kinda more on the side ("talk about her") or most often to do with belonging, ie her toy, her dinner.

Thankyou, that makes sense! Duh.
I definately will just be correcting her but at least now, I understand why I am correcting her.

actually it's from studying japanese! you learn more about grammar from studying a foreign language

he he ha ha...cute!!

Z has a similar thing where every thing is a GIRL!! As in she will say "Good Girl Papa"...Hmmmm


I think its because We always use that on her and there are no other boys (apart from Dad). We usually have a good giggle and correct her!!

Hi, my niece has got into saying " Me want to go to your house" we correct her by saying "I" but so cute.....she also calls scissors - snissors! awwwww

dh's neice has a 5yr old who actually has awfull speech almost no one can understand him apart from her but she refuses to accept that he has a problem
anyway he is always saying it, "ME wants it" "me have it . . .me do it
it was cute about 3 years ago but hes almost 6 now.
