dear
puys,
while studying
WREN & MARTIN in correct usage of NOUNs & PRONOUNs i have come through this points.
126. Grammarians formaly recommende that the complement of verb
to be ,when it is expressed by a pronoun ,should be in nominative case.Today the use of the nominative form is consideredextremely formal and over correct.We usally use the objective form. it is me(Rare : It is I) it was him. 127. The object of a verb or of a preposition,when it is a pronoun ,should be in objective form, as
Between you and me(not i ) affairs look dark. Let you and me(not i ) do it. Her (not she), who had been the apple of his eye ,he now began to regard with something like distrust. He has given great trouble to my father and me(not i) 135. Be careful to use
who(Nominative) and
whom (objective ) correctly
There's Mr. dutt, who(not whom) they say is the best portrait painter in town. who (not whom) they were i really cannot specify. There are many who (not whom ) we know quite well are honest. One evening of each week was set apart by him for the reception of whosoever (not whomsoever) chose to visit him. Who (not whom) did you say was there? They were a people whom it was not adviceable to excite. The student whom (not who ) you thought so hoghly of, has failed to win the contest. Whom do you wish to see? Who (not whom) do you believe him to be?
