Suggest improvements for the highlighted problem area:
Panga and me took some tourists on a singing tour of the Congo. I steered the boat while Panga strummed on his guitar and watched for crocodiles. At Malebo Pool our tourists reacted with frightened grimaces to me singing.
They asked Panga and I to humor them with a non-musical tour. We obliged them until we came upon some rough rapids. Here, several of the tourists were surprised when they heard my singing a solo. But they were too worried by the approaching cataracts to complain.
Answer:
- Pronoun Case -
Using our understanding of the different cases, we can fix another error in the opening paragraph:
They asked Panga and I to humor them with a non-musical tour.
Here the pronoun is an object of the verb asked. Therefore, it takes the objective case:
They asked Panga and me to humor them with a non-musical tour.
