📌 Quick Recap of Rules from the Worksheet:
-
WHO → Used when the person is the
subject of the relative clause (the “doer” of the action).
- Example: *My sister,
who sent me a package...* → “who” = subject of “sent”
-
WHOM → Used when the person is the
object of the verb or preposition in the relative clause (the “receiver” of the action).
- Example: *My sister,
whom I sent a package...* → “whom” = object of “sent”
> 💡 Tip: If you can replace the blank with “he/she” → use
who.
> If you can replace it with “him/her” → use
whom.
