Grammar
who or whom?
Hello
Somebody please help.
I read a following sentence in a book and a few questions came to mind.
..............................................................................................
Your online friends may not always be friends offline
-and you may not be exactly whom you claim to be, either.
..............................................................................................
1) Is “whom” used in the middle of the sentence grammatically okay?
Can I use “who” instead of “whom?”
2) What is the grammatical function of “whom?”
Is it a relative pronoun (with the antecedent ‘the person etc.’ omitted) or an interrogative?
Thanks in advance.
