I'm not on drugs, thank you. I'm just incredibly stupid when it comes to things like "he", "she", "her", "him", and "who" and "whom".

Copula... could that be related to a certain word with naughty implications I'm thinking of? mrgreen


The copula is the real name of the "linking verb" -- in English, "is".

What kind of drugs are you on? The copula/linking verb always takes nominatives all around. "Who is this?" and "This is who?" are both correct.

Yep. I wanted to be the one to explain that, though! XD
