一、关系代词who,whom的用法
who和whom均只用于指人,不用于指事或物,其中who在定语从句中用作主语,whom在定语从句中用作宾语。如:
I met a girl who knew your sister.我碰到一个认识你姐姐的姑娘。
In Berlin,he first met the woman whom he would one day marry.在柏林,他第一次遇见那个女人,后来他终于跟她结了婚。
She introduced me to her husband,whom I hadn’t met before.她把我介绍给她丈夫,我以前没见过他。
但是,用作宾语的whom如果不是紧跟在介词之后,通常会被省略或用who,that代之.如:
The person to whom I complained is the manager.我向他投诉的那个人是经理。
The person (who,whom,that) I complained to is the manager.我向他投诉的那个人是经理。
二、关系代词whose的用法
关系代词whose既可用于指人,也可用于指事或物,它在定语从句中主要用作定语.如:
She is the woman whose car was stolen.她就是汽车被盗的那个女人。
This is the house whose windows were broken.这就是窗户被打破了的房子。
