Alex, you are such a dear teacher. You are able to make the person become self-confident as an English speaker. (Goiás, Brazil.)

[@prof.emanuelpaiva]

As a Brazilian, I enjoyed it this class because a lot of people say that WHOM isn't used actually. Some of them say that WHOM was used in the past, however, it's not true. There is a difference from one to another. Thanks a million. ❤

[@engvidAlex]

There’s a difference, but most people just use “who” regardless of the situation. “Whom” is still the one most often used with prepositions, however. :)

[@gambarimas]

In my view, this is very important: Subject = the person that DOES the/an action Object = the person that RECEIVES the/an action

Alex is a great teacher. He knows what he's talking about. I wondered whether he'd get to using whom when who is correct. I just read an article on MSNBC and the journalist overwhomed. "He (Carville) took particular aim at Bernie Sanders whom WRONG he fears could lead the party to defeat in November." Reason. he fears is a parenthetical, remove it and who becomes the obvious choice.

"Whom are they with?" Teacher! Is this question correct?

[@engvidAlex]

Yep. Think of the answer: "The person/people whom they're with..." Like I mentioned though, most people don't know this rule and will default to "who" in this question, myself included. Keep it in mind for formal writing, but don't worry about it too much in speaking.

[@TheAmateurGuitarist]

Stumbled upon your video and subscribed to your channel. Brilliant explanation! Quick question about this variation of the original sentence that you refer to in passing. "Gandhi is someone whom is admired (by many/most people)." You say that it's correct but how? Passive/Active voice probably is not the only criteria. (Also, of course, a clause in a sentence can be in passive voice without the sentence being in passive voice and vice-versa.) A) Correct: He is known. Incorrect: Him is known. Correct: He is a man whom everyone knows. Incorrect: He is a man who everyone knows. Correct: He is a man who is known by everyone. Incorrect: He is a man whom is known by everyone. B) Correct: She is loved. Incorrect: Her is loved. Correct: She is a woman whom everyone loves. Incorrect: She is a woman who everyone loves. Correct: She is a woman who is admired by everyone. Incorrect: She is a woman whom is admired by everyone C) Correct: Alex is a teacher who is liked. Incorrect: Alex is a teacher whom is liked. Correct: Alex is a teacher whom the entire world likes. Incorrect: Alex is a teacher who the entire world likes. [ Correct: Gandhi is a person whom people talk about. = Gandhi is a person about whom people talk. Incorrect: Gandhi is a person who people talk about. = Gandhi is a person about who people talk. ] Similarly, shouldn't the correct usage be "Gandhi is someone who is admired (by many/most people.)"?

Chirley OLiveira : Beautiful Chirley, who made a mistake and whom I'm correcting now, was supposed to say "make a mistake" instead of "wrong" (that is an adjective, actually). Lol! Cheers! ;-)

[@jumperontheline]

Daniel SS The only mistakes Michele (don't know who Chirley is) made were: 'write' should have been 'writes' (or actually 'wrote', since we don't know that he always spells it incorrectly, it may only have been on this occasion) and 'a wrong way' should have been 'the wrong way'.

[@jumperontheline]

Daniel SS However, I would say he 'spelled it incorrectly', as writing is not necessarily the same as spelling, ie: it could refer to handwriting or grammar.

[@derpyoreo2611]

For the questions section, it always helps to ask: “Can I rearrange this sentence so that ‘whom’/‘who’ will be after a preposition or simply the object of the sentence while also converting the sentence from interrogative to declarative?” *You will only be able to do this for sentences that require whom.* For example, you can rearrange “Whom did she pick for the job?” to “She did pick whom for the job,” and “Do you know whom she was talking about?” to “You do know she was talking about whom.” The quantifiers are easy because if “who”/“whom” comes after a preposition, well, it shouldn’t even be “who”! Hope this helps!
