whom和who的用法

高老师 分享 时间:

who和whom都是人称代词,who为主格人称代词(Subject Pronoun), whom为宾格人称代词(Object Pronoun)。下面是具体用法。

who的用法

who主要用在当先行词表人的情况下,一般在从句中充当主语,但有时也可以作宾语,相当于whom。

如:He's the man who bought these books just now.

The man who I served was wearing a hat.

第一句中的who在从句中作bought的主语,而第二句中的who则作served的宾语。

需要注意的是,当介词位于定语从句的句首时,就不能用who,而要用whom。

如:She is the girl about whom the man talked at the meeting an hour ago.

who也可以用来引导非限定性定语从句。

如:The manager, who comes from Japan, told me to help you with your project.

whom的用法

(1)whom主要用在当先行词表人的情况下,在从句中充当动词或介词的宾语。

如:The boy whom you met on the street just now is one of cousins.

He is the man from whom you ought to ask for help.

(2)whom也可以用来引导非限定性定语从句。

如:The soldiers, some of whom come from Alaska, will be sent to Iraq next week.
