Who Vs. Whom

Contested Words #3

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a focused examination of the commonly confused pronouns “Who” and “Whom” in English grammar. The concise instructions guide students to identify sentences in which the usage of these pronouns may be contested. The task involves analyzing a list of sentences and determining the correct usage of “who” and “whom,” an essential skill for mastering English grammar nuances. Students are required to mark a checkbox if they believe the sentence contains a contested use of the pronoun.

Following the identification exercise, the worksheet encourages students to engage with reference texts to understand the rules governing the use of “who” and “whom.” There is a section dedicated to writing out the perceived issue with each sentence, reinforcing the learning process through active inquiry. After consulting their references, students are instructed to rewrite each sentence as they believe it should be correctly structured. This part of the exercise not only tests their knowledge but also promotes the application of grammatical rules. The design is clear and straightforward, with plenty of space provided for students to write their responses, and the page is subtly branded with a numerical logo at the bottom, denoting it as part of a series.
