Let's do review. Wonderful. We're going to test you and see if you remember what we've been studying. Here we go. Quiet. Oh, wait.

I almost forgot. I'm putting on my nerd glasses. Let's get serious. Okay, question number one. Which answer fits best in the following sentence? The company is living beyond means.

Here are the choices. Her your it's the Okay, feel free to pause the video take a moment and look at the answers and the question which answer fits best in the sentence. I'm going to give you the answer in 54321. It's okay, we learned before in the usage section where I gave you tips and stuff strategy is that the pronoun in this idiom must match the subject of the sentence. So in this sentence sentence, who are we talking about? We're talking about the company.

So when we use this idiom, the pronoun needs to match the company. The company is not a person. It's a group of people. It's an organization but we would look at it as a thing, a single thing. So we can't use we can't use her. We can't use your because her and your refer to people to actual living breathing people, but the company is more of a thing.

And that doesn't work because does not a pronoun. It's an article. So the best answer is it's the company is living beyond its means. Okay?
