How is the underlined pronoun in the sentence used? Whom did she say would meet us at the swimming pool? A. direct object B. subject C. predicate nominative D. object of a preposition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whom is the underlined pronoun ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

who is used as a subject, and whom is used as an object.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

so its c or d myguess

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

this one is confusing....

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I would think the correct sentence would be " who did she say would meet us at the swimming pool " and " who " would be your subject...but the original sentence is not written like that....so I am kinda lost on this one...sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah ther's some issue with the question i guess too ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should be (A) most probably ... it cant be (b) (c) (d) for sure

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

oh...wait...rearrange the sentence.. she said (whom) would meet us ....so what would that make whom be in this sentence ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

now we can use the " him /he rule ". he = who him = whom she said " he " would meet us.....he = who......I still think " whom " is used wrong in this sentence....sorry...I am just getting all confused...probably messing with your brain as well.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

I would probably go with A

OpenStudy (bohotness):

THANK YOU :D

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

she said ...she said what ? your direct object....
