    Him/ His
    Message de ineedurhelp posté le 25-11-2016 à 21:02:47 (S | E | F)
    Hello !
    I'm a French student, and I'm trying to learn English, but I'm stuck with this phrase, I can't understand why British say :
    I do not mind HIM leaving
    and why not :
    I do not mind HIS leaving?

    Hello.
    The meaning is different.
    I don't mind him driving ( ing verbal form)means that you accept this man as a driver.
    I don't mind his driving (gerund) means that you like his way of driving.
