too finicky 7 Is this sentence grammatically correct Jamie hates Michael's guts for what he did to his sofa. Thanks The grammar is fine, but be careful in cases where you are talking about two people of the same *** and then you use 'he', 'him', and 'his' later in the sentence. It's pretty obvious that in your sentence 'he' refers to Michael and 'his' refers to Jamie, but pronomial references won't always be so easy to understand in every sentence.
