Other less-commonly used pronouns for adjective clauses: whom, where, whose

 

PARTICULAR POINT OF CONFUSION

whom – very rarely used, very fancy sounding, sounds like a grammar book

Native English speakers rarely use ‘whom’.  We say ‘who’.

 

MY ADVICE: Forget about ‘whom’. It is not important.

e.g. The woman to whom I was speaking is my sister. GRAMMAR BOOK

The woman who I was talking/speaking to/with is my sister. SOUNDS GREAT

The woman I was talking/speaking to is my sister. VERY AUTHENTIC

 

Joe, whom I work with, is a great colleague.

 

*One exception about ‘whom’. writing to someone, don’t know who will be receiving the letter

GREETING for an impersonal business-type letter:

To whom it may concern,

Not an everyday occurrence. Pretty rare.

e.g. business letter, reference letter

 

FORMAL SOUNDING ENGLISH  preposition + whom

to whom   from whom   with whom  

With whom were you speaking? EXTREMELY FORMAL STYLE, STIFF, SERIOUS, GRAMMAR BOOK

Who were talking to? CASUAL

Pick your tone. Formal or authentic? What impression are you trying to make?

 

**

Wedding invitation- very formal language

Mr. and Mrs. Chen request the honor of your presence at the nuptials of their daughter…

RSVP

MEANING: Please come to our daughter’s wedding.

 

Pick your tone. Time and place.

 

 

 

FOCUS ON HIGH-FREQUENCY WORDS: who that which – 95% of the time

*who – used for people, any people, sounds nice, sounds polite and respectful, you can use it for all people

*that- things that are not alive, animals, people (sounds a little disrespectful, sounds like you don’t like that person)

SUBTLETY IN ENGLISH, signal your opinion of a person:

The guy that my sister married is a creep. adjective clause

VOCAB creep- a man who gives you a weird negative feeling, makes you feel uncomfortable

 

The man who my other sister married is awesome. adjective clause

 

That people that did not respect me are now out of my life.

Is that your son? -sounds ok

that- confusing word, used different ways
