Relative Clauses 3: whose/whom/where Flashcards

We use whose in relative clauses instead of possessive determiners (his/her/their).

We use most mostly for people:
<span>A widow is a woman <strong>whose husband is dead</strong>.</span>
<span>I met someone <strong>whose brother I went to school with</strong>.</span>
Compare who and whose:
<span>I met a man <strong>who</strong> knows you. (he knows you)</span>
<span>I met a man <strong>whose</strong> sister knows you. (his sister knows you)</span>
Whom is possible instead of w__ when it is the ob___ of the verb in the relative clause.
Whom is possible instead of who when it is the object of the verb in the relative clause.
<span>The woman <strong>whom I wanted to see</strong> was on vacation.</span>
You can also use whom with a preposition (to whom/from whom/with whom):
The people <strong>with whom I work</strong> are very nice.
But we don’t often use whom in Spoken English (it is more formal). So we usually say:
The woman (who/that) <strong>I wanted to see</strong>.
The people (who/that) <strong>I work with</strong>.
