Rule 1:
Use nominative pronouns (I, we, you, he, she, they, and who) to complete the meaning of being verbs (is, am, was, were, be, been, are).

Examples:

• This is he.
• The project chairmen are they.
• The accountant who made the mistake is she.
• Who did you say that man is? (In this sentence, the being verb comes at the end of the sentence, but it is still completed by the pronoun who.)
