Relative Pronoun, Comma and Verb
Dear teachers,
In the following sentence, shouldn't the relative pronoun be "who" instead of "whom"? Personally, I should prefer to have commas after "Asian" and "Singapore". Further, I find the verb "featured" rather odd. To me, "shown" is a better word. (What do you all think?)
"Another man whom experts believe to be South-east Asian but not from Singapore is also featured in the video".
Thank you very much.
