You Asked Me This Question / Usage of infinitives and of "who vs. whom"
« on: November 24, 2009, 09:19:23 PM »
Thanks for responding to my question. I have 2 more questions if you don't mind:
1. Is it grammatically correct to separate the infinitive marker to from the verb? This happens commonly when you insert an adverb between them as in to clearly see , to confidently speak, to thoroughly wash etc.
2. I know that whom is the objective case form of who but I rarely hear people use it correctly. I read that "modern usage" has got something to do with it. Is this true?
