5 Tricky Grammar Rules You Need to Remember

[@markhemzy8433]

Hi Wes, as a Brit, I can tell you that it's increasingly common in the UK for people to use "who" instead of "whom". I would not be surprised if in the next ten to twenty years, we lose the use of "whom" altogether except for formal prose.

[@InteractiveEng]

Hey Mark. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. 👍

[@michaelgray1123]

Greetings, Wes! I have a question. Is it wrong to use 'it' for a baby? I've seen the grammar books stress on such a singular gender neutral pronoun while referring to non-living things and animals. So, what do you think?

[@InteractiveEng]

Good question. I would probably avoid it. If you're unsure of the gender, I'd refer to it as "the baby." At least that's why I do personally. 👍

Tnx Wes. Using 'he or she', when we wanna talk about a neutral gender is personally a little bit frustrating for me. Because it takes long. I have a question, Can we use 'their' instead of specified possessive pronouns, like we use 'they' for Gender-neutral? I sometimes use it. But I wanna make sure that is correct to use. P.S. Immediately after seeing your video on KZbin I clicked on that to watch it. Whenever I see you posted a new video, I become so flattered.

[@InteractiveEng]

Hi Yashar. Yes, you could also use the possessive form this way. 👍

[@estelatzun7605]

Who vs Whom **SIMPLE TRICK If you can replace the Word with "he" or use WHO. If you can replace the word with "him" or "her," use WHOM.
