who and whom的分別

1.who and whom的分別

WHO
問主語時──
Who is he?

He is my brother.

Who=He


WHOM
問賓語時──
Whom did you see in this morning?

I saw Mary this morning.

Whom=Mary

但現在who已可代替whom，whom可能會在文學作出現。


２．how many和how much的分別

how many

用於問可數的物件的數量

How many books are there?

Book→Countable

how much

用於問不可數的物件的數量

How much water have you drunk?

Water→Uncountable

who 同 whom 是代名詞(pronoun).
而它們所代替的人物在句字中的位置不同.
who 是代替人物的subject,即句字的開頭.
whom 是代替人物的 object(受詞)

用法:whom 是人物object代名詞,當然只可以用作代替人物object的位置.

如在問句:
Whom did you see? 若答: I saw Tom.
就可看出 whom 是 Tom 的代名詞,而Tom 是object.
這句問句不可用who,如:Who did you see?是錯誤的.
如在句字:
I met a girl whom I know.
這句 whom 是 a girl 的代名詞,而 a girl 是句子的object.
這句也一樣,不可用who代替whom

who 同 whom 的意思1樣
但who是subject
而whom是object ( whom是who的受格,用在正式的講話及書面語中)

who and whom 的 意思一樣
但一個是subject(who)
而第二個是object(whom)
