Who brought the paper inside?(谁把纸带进去?)Who talked to you today?(今天谁和你说了话?)Who went to dinner?(谁去吃晚饭?)Who ate the cake?(谁吃了这个蛋糕?)Our job is to determine who qualifies.(我们的职责时确定谁有资格。)
当指代的是句子或短语中的宾语时,用whom。To whom it may concern:(可能涉及到的人:)To whom did you talk today?(你今天和谁说话了?)Whom does Sarah love?(萨拉爱谁?)
试着回答问题,看看这个问题的回答是“he/she”还是“him/her”。如果你的答案是“him/her”,那么应该使用“whom”。这很容易记住,因为这两个词的最后一个字母都是“m”。如果你对这个问题的回答是 “he/she”,那么使用“who”。例子:这个问题“To [whoorwhom] did the prize go?”(谁得奖了?)的恰当答案是“It went to him/her.”(是他/她。)(回答“It went to he/she.”显然是不恰当的)。所以,这个问题中使用的代词应该是“whom”。例子:这个问题“[WhoorWhom] went to the store?” (谁去了商店?)的恰当答案是“He/She went to the store.” (他/她去了商店。)(回答“Him/Her went to the store.”显然是不恰当的)。所以,这个问题的代词应该是“who”。
当你在决定“who”或“whom”,哪一个是正确的代词时,不妨简化那个句子。
