Question

whom的用法

Answer 1

更新1:

唔该再加啲中文

Who和whom都是询问人物的疑问词，基本上who是问主语(subject)而whom是问宾语(object)。 Examples: Q: Who has eaten the apple? A: Tom has eaten the apple. (要求的答案Tom是subject，所以用who问。) Q: Whom are you talking to? A: I'm talking to Peter. (要求的答案Peter的object，所以用whom问。) 不过在现代英语中，用who比whom更普遍，即"Whom are you talking to?"多变成"Who are you talking to?"。 不过，在子句(clauses)中，whom却不能被who取代。 Examples: 1. I will only tell the secret to that person. I can trust that person. --> I will only tell the secret to whom I can trust. 2. I have fallen in love with her. I met her in Bangkok last week. --> I have fallen with love with whom I met in Bangkok last week. 以上两句，that person和her都是object，所以变成clause的时候用whom来指示。这些时候whom不能用who所取代。

whom : the object form of 'who'
used especially in formal speech or writing: Desperate for money
she called her sister
whom she hadn't spoken to in 20 years ! Whom is very formal. It is more usual to use who:Who did you send it to?
Whom
谁 possessive To whom it may concern Whom:The objective case of 'who';
也就是所谓的宾格。grammar里面有主谓宾之说，宾格就是动词的受体。the difference beeen 'who'; and 'whom9; is similar to that beeen 'he' and 'him';
'I' and 'me'. 前面那位说 ‘Whom指谁的’不是正确的说法。 example: I married Ms. Right
whom I love most. 意思是：我娶了我最爱的人--Ms.Right. 全句里面没有出现过‘谁的’这个意思，所以前面那位说的有点失当
