Grammar
Who/whom
1. Are who and whom below still considered relative pronouns?
2. Are both of them correct?
Examples:
a) I phoned up the hospital and asked who/whom I should address the letter to.
b) I phoned up the hospital and asked to whom I should address the letter.
P/s: both who and whom are not in a relative clause, so are they still relative pronouns?
thanks no end.
