2016年1月12日 · I know that "whoever" and "whomever" are both correct. But I want to know that which word is more commonly used in American and British English? Azar's grammar book says "whomever" is rare and extremely formal in American English, and you should use "whoever" (NOT whomever) when you need an object in British. Is that true? I think "whomever" is ...

2012年12月20日 · The verb "smiles" has a subject, and that subject should be "whoever" not "whomever." The entire clause could be replaced by "him" so I understand the desire to make it the objective case "whomever" but you choose between "whoever" and "whomever" (note 1) based on the role it plays in its embedded clause, not the role of the entire sentence.

2010年12月8日 · Whoever and Whomever Dear teachers : Just as the thread I posted on november 30th, 2012, in which I said that I had a good knowledge of the use of as well and as well as, but confused in the usage with just as well. In this thread I want to show the same case with the relative pronouns who and...

2010年6月29日 · However, in this case, the pronoun is the subject of a noun clause, the entire clause being the object of the preposition. When this pronoun is the subject of a clause, the nominative case who/whoever is correct. Breaking down the sentence, we have: The prize will be given to [whoever makes the best grades].

2010年6月18日 · "Whomever" is definitely wrong in this case! "Who(ever)" is a subject pronoun, like "I," "he," or "she." "Whom(ever)" is an object pronoun, like "me," "him," or "her."

2017年6月11日 · When we use 'whoever' it should be followed by 'has' or 'have'?

2011年7月19日 · Actually, whoever in #1 functions as both the direct object of reward and as the subject of found; in #2, it functions as both the object of with and the subject of is sitting. We choose whoever . In "I will love whomever I like", the word does indeed function as a direct object; the use of who m ever is rare in BrE, however (as is the use of ...

2009年1月16日 · I was slightly concerned to note recently, with regard to a now closed thread, that no clear rebuttal or correction was made by any moderator to the following answer concerning the choice between Tell it to whoever lost the book. and Tell it to whomever lost the book. : But the computer, as...

2013年10月26日 · Hi teachers, "Once upon a time, a king offered a prize to whoever painted the best picture of peace." In this sentence if I use "whomever" instead of "whoever", am I wrong? Thanks.

2011年12月7日 · Using "whosever" instead of "whoever's" would make no sense in this case. What they meant is Whosever is the possessive case of the word whoever. or Whosever is (the word whoever)'s possessive case. The word "whoever" is not equal to whomever. Or something like this. Anyway, their usage isn't inconsistent.
