00It should be "who". 02br

0 Hi Paco2004, 02br
02br
00I do mean the same like you, but whom is in this case correct, and I want to know why. 02br

0 Hello Rob 02br
02br
00The pronoun here is the subject of the clause, so it has to be 'who'. 02br
02br
00Does the sentence appear in a textbook as correct? 02br

0 If this "whom" is correct, I will throw off all of my English grammar books into a trash box. 02br

0 Hello, 02br
02br
00my teacher told me that it would be so in his textbook. Therefore I am asking. I am really confused with that. 02br

0 If you google "who wanted to meet you", you will get some 200 pages. On the other hand, "whom wanted to meet you" hits virtually zero. 02br
02br
00This could appear in a sentence as follows; 02br
00 "I would like to introduce you to Mr and Mrs Smith, both of whom wanted to meet you." 02br

0 I wonder if the teacher is misremembering. You can say either: 02br
02br
00– Allow me to introduce you to Mr and Mrs Smith, who wanted to meet you the other day. 02br
02br
00Or 02br
02br
00– Allow me to introduce you to Mr and Mrs Smith, whom you wanted to meet the other day. 02br
02br
00But not: 02br

0 Thanks MrPredantic, 02br
02br
00so do I think. Perhaps, the teacher didn't look up correctly, because this is impossible, I think. 02br
02br
00But I have another case with whom/who: 02br
00Young people under 25 are the customers who(m) fast food restaurants mainly attract. 02br
02br
00As I am confused, what is the correct

0 Yeah, I too would eat my hat and swallow the buckle whole. 02br

0 "Young people under 25 are the customers who(m) fast food restaurants mainly attract." 02br
02br
00In this case "fast food restaurants" is the subject of "attract" and "who(m)" is the objcet. 02br
00So in formal written English, "whom" is the right choice. 02br
00But nowadays people say "who" as the substitute for "whom" in spoken English. 02br
