Me or my?
Hi, thanks for reading my question again. I saw this following sentence:
I expect you to do that without my having to hear updates from the customer.
Can we change the word "my" to "me"?
Cheers

Hello, In this case, the word in question is the modifier of a gerund phrase and so the proper way to word it would be with the possessive "my". edu/owl/resource/627/01 / I hope this is helpful. -S
