关系代词who与whom 的用法区别 两者均只用于人,从理论上说,who 为
主格,whom为
宾格。
如:Where’s the girl who sells the tickets? 卖票的女孩在哪里? The author whom you criticized in your view has written a letter in reply. 你在评论中批评的那个作者已写了一封回信。
但实际上,除非在正式文体中,宾格关系代词 whom 往往省略不用,或用who或that代之。
如:The man (that, who, whom) you met just now is called Jim. 你刚遇见的那个人叫
吉姆。
不过,在以下几种情况值得注意。
如:
(1) 直接跟在介词后面作宾语时,只能用 whom,而且不能省略。如:She brought with her three friends, none of whom I had ever met before. 她带了brought with her three friends, none of whom I had ever met before. 3个朋友来,我以前都没见过。
(2) 引导
非限制性定语从句且作宾语时,who 和 whom均可用,但以用 whom 为佳,此时也不能省略。如:This is Jack, who [whom] you haven’t met before. 这是杰克,你以前没见过。
在一般旧词典中,几乎查不到whomever这个词,但现在的高三临考模拟中,这两个词几乎形影不离,使得有些同学碰到它们感到有些棘手.近几年的教学经验让我感觉对他们还是有章可循,能够分辨的.
下面试着分析一下:
从形式上来看,who(ever)是
人称代词的主格形式,一般在句子中作主语;whom(ever)是人称代词的宾格形式,故一般作宾语.
从内容上来说,像whoever(whomever),我个人的体会是一定不能仅仅把它看成是一个词汇,一定要把它看成两个词.这里有一条规则可以一试:
whoever=him (her,them)+he (she,they)
whomever= him(her,them)+ him (her,them)
验证一下:
1.Give it to _____ asks for it first.
Give it to him.He asks for it first.
Therefore,Give it to whoever asks for it first.(whoever= him+ he)
2.We will hire_______ is most qualified.
We will hire her.She is most qualified.
Therefore,We will hire whoever is most qualified.(whoever= her+ she)
3.We will hire_____ you recommend.
We will hire them.You recommend them.
Therefore,We will hire whomever you recommend.( whomever= them + them)
另有一点请同学们必须注意:
不能只看句子的前半部分,要观察整个的句子.一般说来,whomever不能做句子的主语是不能忘记的.
尝试一下:
1.Please award the prize to ______comes first in the competition.
2.The work should be given to ____ you think can finish it ahead of time.
3.Do what you want to with _____ you want to do it.
