The
Relative Pronouns Whom/Which/That
Follow
the same rules for using who(m), which, and that,
as you do with other relative pronouns. The only difference is
that now these pronouns are functioning as objects:
--The
movie that we saw last night was terrible.
--The
movie, which we saw last night, was terrible.
For
people, you will use either who or whom. Who
is usually used instead of whom in colloquial speech, even
though it is technically incorrect:
--The
person who they saw was sick. (informal)
--The person whom they saw was sick. (formal)
--There's the driver who the police arrested. (informal)
--There's
the driver whom the police arrested. (formal) |
