"He looked the same as her" or is it "He looked the same as she"  I thought the rule was to complete the clause to figure this out such as "He looked the same as she looked" in which case the answer would be "she" but I'm fighting this conclusion because it just sounds wrong.

He was almost as bad at English as me. He was almost as bad at English as I.   The first one sounds better as-is, but not when you change the second one to He was almost as bad at English as I was.  Which is correct?

Should I mention the pronoun again in this case?     "All of these things are not beneficial and (they?) do not   help her"   I know that there is already answer about the question "if it's needed to repeat on the pronoun in case that they are in the same position of grammar tense". But in this case it's different because the question deals with case of two different  tenses (in bold).

Sometimes I can't see which clause fits the best. What "check-up" could be done to make sure which one is the right one?  For example,  1) He will do anything that is needed. or He will do anything what is needed.  2) They always ignore that is so obvious. or They always ignore what is so obvious.  3) All that I have is yours. or All what I have is yours.  My take is the correct ones are 1) that 2) that 3) what/that???  But I am not sure. I think it has to do something with different types or dependent clauses, but I don't know how to go about them in this case. Any suggestions?  Here is an interesting example  How do I know what I think, until I see what I say? VERSUS How do I know that I think, until I see what I say?  I think both are correct meaning two different things.

Someone introduced himself to us.  After that, when we look back and say what he said, which is right to say?     What did he say his name is?      What did he say his name was?   I think the first one is plausible because his name is always XX, but I'm not sure. Please tell me which is allowed.

Question: Is the first one redundant and proper, or is it redundant and not necessarily correct?  (1) He is a friend of Doug's. (2) He is a friend of Doug.

Are both expressions correct? If yes, do they have different meanings? It seems to me that I came across both of them in books, but I'm not sure.

I still have problems to figure out when it's right to use I or me in an answer.  For example, what is the right answer to "Who did this?"  If I did it, should I say I or me? I've heard native speakers using both. Is there a rule?   And what are some examples when to use me, and when I?

I believe the sentence in the title is grammatically correct.   Recently I've seen too many people writing it this way:     I'm not sure what is the right way.   Is it grammatically correct as well? Maybe in a different sense? Or simply misuse by non-native speakers?

I'm not a native english speaker, so even though I'm decently proficient at it, I don't really "know the rules" sometimes, and this is one that's been confusing me for a long time.  Which one is correct in each sentence?     If the movement [was/were] to continue uncorrected, the tower would   one day topple.      If I [was/were] rich, I would buy a yacht.   NOTE: I care not only about the case of "I", but also "she", "them", "it", etc, as in the example of the tower. Would it be any different if instead of the tower, it'd be me who'd topple if uncorrected?  I'm pretty sure it's "were" in both cases. That's what they taught me, I think. I started to doubt when I saw a lot of "was", but it sounded like the typical intentional mistake used "stylistically". ("If I was a rich girl...")  Then I saw it some more and thought it came down to an American/British English difference (I was taught British, in theory, and most of what I read is American).    But that tower sentence came straight from "The Guardian"...  When do you use was and when do you use were?

I know there are different opinions on this issue. My question: Is using "he" for a general, gender-neutral third person still in common use for formal writing? By common use I mean, can I expect my paper not to be penalised because I use "he" as pronoun for "a student", etc.?   I think "he/she" is too clumsy and I am not comfortable with singular they.

Possible Duplicate:             Is the use of "who", as applied to non-human animals, ever considered grammatically correct? Would it be correct to refer to a cat as "the same cat who I saw yesterday" instead of "the cat that I saw yesterday", or is this considered incorrect?

I am writing a subordinate clause in the "Related Work" section of my academic paper. Which is correct?     In [1], Smith et al. pointed out that the solution is feasible.   OR     In [1], Smith et al. pointed out that the solution was feasible.   I am quite confused.  On the one hand, I remember clearly the verb tense in the "that" clause should follow that of the verb in the main sentence. Hence, "was" should be used, following "pointed".  On the other hand, Smith's work is always there and always thinks that the solution is feasible. Hence, the present tense should be used.  Which reasoning is correct?  (NOTE: The OP is asking if it is obligatory that the "is" verb is backshifted into "was", or if backshifting is not allowed, or if backshifting is optional. -- F.E.)

Overheard on an elevator today,     I didn't realize it was him.   Corrected by the know-it-all,     He.  "I didn't realize it was he."   The know-it-all then went on a rant about how everybody is a dolt for not knowing that.  I swear I have never heard this before in my life.  Is the know-it-all correct?    If so, why is "I didn't realize it was he," grammatically correct?  What rule makes "him" incorrect here?

I was wondering why this expression is not “God saves the Queen”. According to my very first English teacher, when the subject is he, she or it, “to save” is conjugated “he/she/it saves”.  Is it an exception?

If "and so" connects predicates such that the second is the result of the first, do we need to repeat the same words in the second? For example,      It does not exist locally and so globally.   or     It does not exist locally and so does not exist globally.

When should I say "She is gone", and when should I say "She has gone" (and why)?  I think that when I mean "She went away and she's still there", it should be "She has gone". Are there exceptions where it should be "She is gone" ?

See these sentences:     See there, it seems that someone is inside the house. OVER   See there, it seems that someone is in the house.   Another example:     The doctors found two bullets in his body. OVER   The doctors found two bullets inside his body.   Certainly, both are interchangeable, aren't they? But in the bullet's example, the second one looks natural. I'm not sure why. Is it something that bullets were first out and then they went inside? But if that's the case, someone is in the house is also okay. That person too was out first!
