Grammar

Subjects, Objects and Possessive Forms

To understand how to use “who,” “whom,” and “whose,” you first have to understand the difference between subjects, objects, and possessive forms.

Subjects do an action:

  • He loves movies.
  • She goes to school.
  • We enjoy Chinese food.

Objects receive an action:

  • The teachers like him.
  • Thomas knows her.
  • The actor smiled at us.

Possessive forms tell us the person something belongs to:

  • His bike is broken.
  • I like her new book.
  • The teacher graded our homework.

“Who” is a Subject Pronoun

“Who” is a subject pronoun like “he,” “she” and “we” in the examples above. We use “who” to ask which person does an action or which person is a certain way.

Examples:

  • Who made the birthday cake?
  • Who is in the kitchen?
  • Who is going to do the dishes?

“Whom” is an Object Pronoun

“Whom” is an object pronoun like “him,” “her” and “us.” We use “whom” to ask which person receives an action.

Examples:

  • Whom are you going to invite?
  • Whom did he blame for the accident?
  • Whom did he hire to do the job?

“Whose” is a Possessive Pronoun

“Whose” is a possessive pronoun like “his,” “her” and “our.” We use “whose” to find out which person something belongs to.

Examples:

  • Whose camera is this?
  • Whose dog is barking outside?
  • Whose cell phone keeps ringing?

First reason, My sold membership of retirement is not open to society for 100 percent, they don’t have some relation with my company. That means It is hard to buy it for them. Second reason, their sound are not polite and sounds younger than elderly people, they may not really needed,I don’t want to waste my time. Third one is that I may leave my job after two or three months.

Edited:

Today was a busy day. When I was working, I received two calls from strange clients and didn’t have enough patience to talk a lot with them. I did it firstly because our retirement membership is not open to public, and people who don’t have some kind of relation with my company cannot buy it. Secondly, they didn’t sound very polite and actually sounded too young to be elderly people, so they may not really needed a retirement plan, and I didn’t want to waste my time. Thirdly, I may leave my job in two or three months.
