 | | This is why it is critical that you have the ability to pick out the subject and object(s) of any sentence because this is how you can check whether or not you're using the right pronouns in the right places. | | | But, again, they are very easy to figure out so long as you remember that "who" and "whoever" are subjective and "whom" and "whomever" are objective. | | | Surprised, no. Elementary English education as a whole, in fact, is done rather half-assedly nowadays here in the States, in the rush to emphasize the "almighty" math/science/computer stuff...and that just fries my circuits...but that's entirely another rant. |
