Who VS Whom






I was reading the difference between "who" and "whom". This is what I found out:

"Who" and "whom" are both interrogative pronouns. However, the difference between these interrogative pronouns is that the first one (who) is used in place of the subject of a question, while the second one (whom) is used in place of the object of a question.

Here below are some examples:

-Who as a subject: 
Who are you?
Who is going?

-Whom as an object:
Whom did they tell?
Whom is the story about?


P.s
-Whom is always the correct choice after a preposition.
E.g: Leonela is the girl with whom I have classes in Santo Domingo.  

Pronouns (Object/Subject)

Pronouns (Object/Subject)

In a previous class some of us were confused about some pronouns. That's why I made a research to post it here and clarify any doubts.

As you can see on the picture, there are four columns. The fist one contains "Possessive Adjectives" while the other ones contains different pronouns.

Possessive adjectives:
Modify a noun by attributing possession (or other sense of belonging) to someone or something.
e.g:  My father is a doctor.

Possessive Pronouns:
We use possessive pronouns to refer to a specific person,people, thing or things belonging to a person, people, thing or things.
e.g:  -Is this your pen? No, mine is red.

Subject Pronouns:
Personal Pronouns used as subject. They perform verb actions.
e.g: I jump very high.
         You eat too fast.

 Object pronouns: 
Personal pronoun used as a direct or indirect object of a verb or preposition. These pronouns also use to substitute the subject pronoun so that the phrase don't become so repetitive.
e.g: They know I love them the same.
         She thinks he hates her.


My circle of friends:

My best friend from highschool.

Dilerkis is a friend I met on my First day of
High school. we sat next to each other in English class.

hello class, in this oportunity I would like to about phrasal verbs.
 a phrasal verb is a combination between one verb and one preposition. in the phrasal verb, the original maen of the verb changes totaly.

for example.
go.
go out, go on, go away, go in, etc.

come:
come in .
give:
give up.

something inportant in a phrasal verb is that if there is a noun or pronoun in the sentence, that subject comes in the middle od the centence.
good evening people. in this ocation I am going to talk about relative clase: in that structure or grammar we can join two sentences with some pronouns, such as who, whom, someone, and more.


here few examples.
I have a son. he likes playing game:
I have a son that likes playing game.


I have a work. it is very interesting:
I have a work which is very interesting.


Relationship.

     
         I'm going to talk about what will be the best way to find a husband or a wife.




Now a day there are diferent ways to find a husband or a wife, some people prefer to meet a spouse on their own, but others would rather find a husband or a wife with help of anothers person.


Boys in our society are searching girlfriend or boyfriend  in internet,  in My opinión this is very dangerous. In orden to there are violence and divorce.

Parents must Pay attention to their sons to see what they are doing.



As We are working in the chapter 7 that is about Relationships. I would like to talk about my best friend.
His name is Anthony, he is a really nice friend. We spend a lot of time together. he is from my town right now he is finishing high school which is very good. He is a very trust person I enjoy talking to him for that reason. He is youngest than me but it doesn't mean that he is not mature.

that is some information about my friend.!!

Good evening,

My name is Leonel Morillo. I'm from Bonao. I have 5 siblings (two brothers and three sisters). I grew up at a countryside. I'm pretty sociable and easy going. I like to spend time with my 7-year-old nephew Angel and help him with his homework. I also like music, video games, working out and reading. When I get my degree, I'm going to join in a Linguistics master degree.

I'm interested in cooking. I can make some simple dishes, however I'm not an expert.

Have a good night and see you in the next class.  







Hi everyone! My name is Leonela Hernandez and I come from Bonao. I'm the youngest child in my family.
I really like pets. Actually, I have two dogs and one cat. Their names are: Sammy, Lola Maritte and Mily.

The most thing that I really like to do is spend time with my family and friends. They are so important to me.

I enjoy cooking and do new things but I don't like a lot watch TV and go to the gym.

I consider myself responsable, organized, lovely, frendly.

I hope you have a great day. :-)
