Question

定语从句whom？

I was embarrassed, however, when I finally learned that the man to whom I had been rude minutes before was our professor of the first lecture. 请问为什么 whom 后加 to

Answer 1

I had been rude to the man 

whom 指代the man 

这是 介词+关系代词 类型的定语从句。 拆分开是：

the man was our professor of the first lecture. 

I had been rude  to the man （professor）minutes before
