Hi
The verb 'to be' acts in strange ways in English. Technically, there is no object: I am I and you are you. However, in practice, we do tend to put the object form to the right of it, and there's nothing wrong with that ...
- I was just being me
- I knew it was her

Anonymous Which is correct.....I know it was her or I know it was sIn normal English, most people would use "her".
Some people may argue that "she" is technically correct, but at best it sounds formal, and at worst pedantic.
