Who Whose Whom

+231.+ We often make mistakes in the use of the different forms of the

pronoun _who_. We often use the subject form for the object form, using

_who_ where we should have used _whom_. For example:

Who did you see?

The correct form is:

Whom did you see?

The pronoun _whom_ is the object of the verb _see_, hence the object

form should be used. However, the use of the subject form _who_ instead

of _whom_ is coming into such general use today that some grammarians

accept it as a permissible usage. The will of the people influences

language, as it does all other human institutions, and gradually creates

new rules.

Write three sentences, using _who_, _which_ and _what_ as interrogative

pronouns.

+An interrogative pronoun is a pronoun used to ask a question.+
