English Language & Usage Asked on July 1, 2021
If it is acceptable to answer
I love you.
with
And I you.
which we could represent as:
And I
loveyou.
Would it be acceptable to answer:
You’re my hero.
with
And you my.
in other words:
And you
aremyhero.
Why is the gap allowed in the first response?
Does this allow for gaps in the second response too?
If not, why not? (in relation to each gap)
The reason you can't do this is that "my" is actually a personal possessive determiner. You can replace "my hero" with the personal possessive pronoun "mine" though.
You are my hero.
And you mine.
