Whom and whom in the same sentence?
Does anyone have any advice for me though I’m struggling to understand this and would appreciate if I could be told. If I was to be told a story by someone please post the story with their own knowledge?
Is it appropriate to use Who immediately after Whom?
“While one can understand the actions of a lonely few – some of whom perhaps
did make good their escape” When I try it with just the who it sounds wrong.
I’m unsure if I get super confused with tenses here but this is the second time I’ve tried to word a sentence like this and its annoying me that I can’t get it right… Why haven’t I just reworking them to avoid this issue altogether? I feel it should be possible to construct in this way.
I might say someone of you who made good on their escape and what can I do with
them?
Suggestions are immensely appreciated!
Can anyone tell me which is better and why?
What is called a statutory “whom” which is used in relation to a preceeding quantifiers i. There is something called a statutory “whom” which is used after a statutory preceeding (“whoms”) and the following method. e: some of, few of, all of, etc. as well as some and.i.e. many and (e.f. more than one or two) of. If you find one, you are obligated to use “whom” afterwards. Don’t try to buy a sample… Ex: Many students will graduate next month. I live in the UK. Ex: There are many students who graduated last month. Ex: What is going on in my life? Some of whom may receive honorary degree because of their exellency. How do I remove in my heart a sound that sounds as weird as above? Because of strict equality of titles, I
am using “them” in my text. Of course not many ppl use whom nowadays but if you wanna make it formal, then you might want to use what
instead of who.
In this context, you don’t need “who?” The prepositional phrase “of whom” is used at the beginning of the relative clause. While one can
understand the actions of a lonely few – of whom some may have made good their escape… For the more
general question, the earlier question Who/whom + who relative clause may be relevant
