🌟 Use Relative Pronouns: Who & Whom 🌟
| What are Relative Pronouns? |
Relative pronouns are words that join two sentences or give more information about a person or thing.
They make our sentences more interesting! ✨
- Examples: who, whom, which, that
| Who 🧑 |
- Who is used for the subject of a sentence (the person doing the action).
- Think: Who is doing something? ✅
Examples:
- The girl who is singing 🎤 is my sister.
- I know the man who helps the animals 🐶🐱.
Tip: If you can replace it with he/she/they, use who!

- Whom is used for the object of a sentence (the person receiving the action).
- Think: Whom is it happening to? ❓
Examples:
- The teacher, whom we respect 👩🏫, is very kind.
- The boy whom I met yesterday 🤝 is my friend.
Tip: If you can replace it with him/her/them, use whom!
