Si j'étais toiI recently came across this phrase in a conditional sentence while reading: "Si j'étais toi,...", but I can't find any grammatical reference to explain how the stressed pronoun can be used as a direct object after the verb instead of what sounds worse but looks grammatically correct: "Si je t'étais,..." Is this allowed just for emphasis or allowed within certain clauses, and is it unique to the verb être?

Kwiziq ScoringI was trying to improve my previous A1 & A2 grades and remove the light yellow areas in my brain map and it seems impossible to get above 84.6%. I'd be right at 84.6% and then get a succession of 10/10 results and my score would drop to 84.5%. I could then work back to 84.6% slowly - but I couldn't ever seem to get above that result and the yellow areas in my brain map stayed depressingly un-green.
