EVEN DEEPER LEVEL:
Two ways to write an adj cl:
I was talking to the woman who is my sister’s friend.
The woman who I was talking to is my sister’s friend.
Similar information expressed in two different ways
These adj cl are different from each other.
I was talking to the woman who is my sister’s friend. ‘who’ is the
subject, subject pronoun
The woman who I
was talking to is my sister’s friend. ‘I’
is the subject, ‘who’ is the object, object pronoun
You can have a subject pronoun or an object pronoun.
When you have an object pronoun, you have choices!
Choice#1
The woman who I
was talking to is my sister’s friend.
object pronoun
Choice#2
The woman who I
was talking to is my sister’s friend.
OMIT the ‘who’
The woman I was
talking to is my sister’s friend.
MOST AUTHENTIC SOUNDING- WHAT AN ENGLISH SPEAKER WOULD DO
Choice#3
The woman whom I
was talking to is my sister’s friend.
‘whom’ object pronoun in an adjective clause
formal, very unusual, authentic English speakers do not
bother with ‘whom’.
-sounds fake, pretentious, not commonly used
To whom were you talking? SOUNDS FAKE AND PRETENTIOUS
Who were you talking to? SOUNDS AUTHENTIC
*Choice#1
The woman who I
was talking to is my sister’s friend.
object pronoun
*Choice#2
The woman I was
talking to is my sister’s friend.
Choice#3
The woman whom I
was talking to is my sister’s friend.
Choice#4- very very formal
The woman to whom I
was talking is my sister’s friend.
FREE ADVICE: Forget about ‘whom’. Nobody uses it.

To whom it may concern,
Subject and object pronouns:
