Ever get confused about which to use--who or whom? It's not as complicated as you might think. Ask yourself a simple question:
Who is doing what to whom?
The one doing the action is the subject: who. The one being acted upon is the object: whom.
This is where I am for three days. I'll chat about it in future posts.
In the meantime, have a great weekend!
Have a great and productive time!
ReplyDeletehaha always enjoyed that skit. Who and whom doesn't usually get me, unless I'm typing fast.
ReplyDeleteA very short and sweet explanation!
ReplyDeleteSimplest definition yet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lesson and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lesson. Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
This became glass-clear when I learned a foreign language: German
ReplyDelete"wer" = who in the nominative form
"wen" = who in the accusative form
"wem" = whom in the dative form
"wessen" = whose in the genitive form
I can kind of figure out how to do it when writing prose. But I get confused when writing dialogue, because people don't usually speak in correct grammatical terms. I mean, how many people say whom when they talk? I'm never quite sure what to do in that instance. :-/
ReplyDeleteThanks for the grammar stuff--who and whom were always the bane of my writing.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at "Life, The Universe & Everything!"
Man I luv that who's on first bit. But yes, grammar is essential:)
ReplyDeleteNice one, Donna! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll see you there on Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time! :)
ReplyDeleteI am J-E-A-L-O-U-S. Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteI guess your post is an object of my affection! Who do you love?
ReplyDeleteYou've made it simple and easy to understand. If only more grammar texts/posts were like this!
ReplyDeleteSuch a small think. ;-) But such a great idea
