求助英语帝，who和whom的区别

who是做主语的，而whom是作宾语的。

举例：1. He is the man who lives near my house.他是那个住在我们家附近的人。

　　　　在此句话中，who是主语，接在谓语动词lives的后面。

2. He is the man whom I love.他是我爱的那个人。

　　　　在此句话中，whom是宾语，这句话是个定语从句，whom指代的是the man，

　　　　所以从句的完整说法应该是：I love the man. "the man"是宾语，因而whom是宾语。

Who, in the English language, is the interrogative and relative pronoun that is used to refer to human beings.

The corresponding interrogative pronouns for non-sentient beings are what and which, and the relative pronouns are that and which. That and which are sometimes used in contexts where who might be a more suitable choice, and who is likewise used in contexts where that or which would be a more suitable choice.

The form who is replacing whom in objective case contexts. As early as the 1970s, the who–whom distinction was identified as having "slipped so badly that [it is] almost totally uninformative" (Wanner & Maratsos 1978). According to the OED (2nd edition, 1989), whom is "no longer current in natural colloquial speech". Lasnik & Sobin 2000 argue that surviving occurrences of whom are not part of ordinary English grammar, but the result of extra-grammatical rules for producing "prestige" forms.

Whom remains in significant use following a preposition (see examples immediately below). In informal contexts, the preposition may instead be placed at the end (see preposition stranding), and the word who may be omitted where it is used as a relative pronoun. For example:

(Relative, formal): He is someone to whom I owe a great deal.

(Interrogative, formal): To whom did you give it?

(Relative, informal): He is someone (who) I owe a great deal to.

(Interrogative, informal): Who did you give it to?

He is someone who is a great guy. ("Who" is subject of the subordinate clause)

He is someone to whom I owe a great deal. ("I" is subject; "whom" is the object referring to the sentence subject he)

He is someone whom I admire. ("I" is subject; "whom" is the object referring to the sentence subject he)

He is someone whose help I appreciate. ("Whose" is adjunct to help which is possessed by the sentence subject he)
