I will like [who,whom,whoever,whomever] you love? Your teacher is right (though "whomever" is also possible). "Who/whom" are not normally permitted in a 'fused' relative construction like this.

  • I will like [who,whom,whoever,whomever] you love?
  • Your teacher is right (though "whomever" is also possible).
  • "Who/whom" are not normally permitted in a 'fused' relative construction like this.
  • But you can say "whoever", where the meaning is "I will like any person that you care to love".
