⚠️ The Differences between Who & Whom

🔰 According to the rules of formal grammar, who should be used in the subject position in a sentence, while whom should be used in the object position, and also after a preposition.


🔔 Examples 🔔

🔘 Who made this decision? [here, who is the subject of the sentence]

🔘 Whom do you think we should support? [here, whom is the object of support]

🔊 Except vs Except for 🔊

We use except(for) to introduce the only thing(s)or person/ people that a statement does not include:

🔔 Examples 🔔

🔅The price of the holiday includes all meals except(for) lunch.

🔅Everyone seemed to have been invited except for Mrs wood Ford and me.

🔅I had no money to give him except (for)the few coins in my picket.

🔻 Note: we use except,not except for, with to-infinitives,and that-clauses:

🔔 Examples 🔔

🔅I really need to go into the city center except to do some shopping.

📝 We usually use except before prepositions,bare infinitives,and that-clauses including those where the word that is left out. However,informally except for is something also used,although this is grammatically incorrect:

🔔 Examples 🔔

🔅There is likely to be rain everywhere today except in wale.

🔅There is nothing more the doctor can do except keep an eye on him.

🔅They look just like the real thing,except (that) they are made of plastic.
