That’s actually helpful, thank you!
I serve he ^who ^must ^not ^be ^named
“He is the one I serve”
Then the question would be ‘who is the one you serve?’
“I serve him”
Now read the meme again and realise the language rules are actually consistent
“He he he”
“He is the one I serve”
Btw for clarity because the meme does a pretty bad job of explaining the rule. Who is used to refer to the subject of the sentence and whom is for the object of the sentence.
That’s fine and all. But I see a lot of randomness in the use of its/it’s, their/there, etc. And this who/whom thing seems like orders of magnitude harder to grasp.
In case you did actually want to know the rule. Who is used to refer to the subject of the sentence and whom is for the object of the sentence.
Actually the clearest advice I’ve ever received on this. Thanks.
Grammar Istari
I serve her. Whor do you serve?
The struggle of English native speakers with the dative case is amusing to observe, when you come from a language background that uses case morphology all over the place.
