OMISSION OF RELATIVE PRONOUNS

Subject

I think the scientist WHO deserves a Nobel Prize in Chemistry is Katalin Kariko

OMISSION

NOT OMITTED

• When a person or thing that is being defined is the object of the sentence, we CAN LEAVE OUT/OMIT the relative pronouns.

Examples

• In other words, when the relative pronoun is followed by a verb, it is the subject of a relative clause and it CANNOT BE OMITTED.

Object

The app WHICH I like the most is snapchat

OMITTED

EXAMPLES

WHEN DO WE USE "WHOM"?

The man whom you met on Saturday is my boss. What a coincidence!!!

The object form is WHOM, but it is considered very formal

THE USE OF WHOM

For example, the following greeting is still quite common in formal letters: To whom it may concern

In spoken English we use WHO or THAT, and it is still more common to omit the object pronoun altogether

Formal: To whom did you give it? Informal: Who did you give it to?

In formal English, the preposition is placed before the relative pronoun, which must be put into the form WHOM

relative pronouns with verbs with prepositions

• Do you know which kind of music he listens to?
• Do you know to which kind of music he listens?

When a relative pronoun is the object of a preposition, the preposition usually goes a the end of the clause after the verb. It is more common in spoken English to place the preposition at the end of the sentence and omit the pronoun, if possible

• This is the teacher (who) I was talking about
• This is the teacher about whom I was talking
