Where do we use which and whom?
General rule for who vs whom: Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence. Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.
How do you use whom in a sentence examples?
Examples of “whom” in a sentence:
- He saw the faces of those whom he loved at his birthday celebration.
- She saw a lady whom she presumed worked at the store, and she asked her a question.
- Here dwells an old woman with whom I would like to converse.
Is it some of whom or some of which?
It is correct to say ‘some of whom’. Prepositions are always followed by the ‘object’ case. So, ‘of me’, ‘to him’, ‘by her’ etc; never ‘of I’, ‘to he’, ‘by she’.
Do you use whom for they?
Whom: They/Them? Just like you can use he/him to confirm whether to use who/whom, you can also use they/them. This is because who and whom can represent singular pronouns like he and him as well as plural pronouns like they and them. For plural pronouns, replace who with they.
Is who’s and whose the same?
Who’s is a contraction linking the words who is or who has, and whose is the possessive form of who. They may sound the same, but spelling them correctly can be tricky.
Do you say one of which or one of whom?
In your example, “one of which” would be wrong because the referent is one of his sons. “One of whom” is correct.
Are who and whom interchangeable?
‘Who’ and ‘whom’ are both question words that are used when asking about a person (not a place or a thing). In these ways, the two words are alike and used similarly. However, ‘who’ and ‘whom’ are not synonyms and cannot be used interchangeably.
How do you use who’s in a sentence?
“Who’s” is a contraction made up of either “who+is” or “who+has”. The apostrophe in “who’s” stands in for the missing letters of “who+is” or “who+has.” You use “who’s” when you would otherwise be saying “who is” or “who has”. For instance, “Who is going to the party?” can become “Who’s going to the party?”
Who’s vs whose example?
The formula: who + is, or who + has. For example: who’s hungry? Whose is a possessive pronoun. Use it when you’re asking (or telling) to whom something belongs.
Is many of whom correct?
“Many of which” applies to inanimate objects. “Many of whom” applies to animate objects — more specifically, people.
