'Impossible is Nothing'

"Impossible is nothing only to those (who/whom) God allows it (on/upon/to)"

which words should i use? and why?
  

Top answer

"Who" is not the subject of the relative clause, it should stand it the dative case, which is "whom". The second preposition should be "to" because one allows somethig _to_ somebody.

Hi,

"Impossible is nothing only to those (who/whom) *** allows it (on/upon/to)"



I don't see the meaning of this at all. Can you help me understand by saying it in another way?



Best wishes, Clive

Hi,
I think he is trying to say that only people who have permission from *** can do anything. Without his permission everything is impossible for everybody, even though he is powerfull.

(lol, somebody should check my sentence firstly !)

Thanks!

Hi,

Well, he needs to say it in another way. For example, in the way that you did.

Best wishes, Clive
