Pronouns
A Pronoun is a word that is used in place of noun. The antecedent of a pronouns is the word to which the pronoun refers. E.g. Mary (Antecedent) was late for work because she (Pronoun) forgot to set the alarm. Occasionally, an antecedent will appear after the pronoun in a sentence. E.g. Because he sneezes so often, Arthur always thinks he might have the flu.

Mastering Pronouns for SAT Success

When to use the relative pronoun who (subjective case: who goes with he and they).

When to use the relative pronoun whom (objective case: whom goes with him and them).

       E.g. Sylvester, (who/whom?) is afraid of the dark, sleeps with a Donald Duck night-light on.

* Look only at relative pronoun in its clause. Ignore the rest of the sentence.

       Who/whom is afraid of the dark?

Answer the question with an ordinary personal pronoun. Such as “He is”.

If you answer the question with a subjective case pronoun (as you have here), you need the subjective case “who” in the relative clause.  

       Sylvester, who is afraid of the dark, sleeps with a Donald Duck night-light on.

If you answer the question with a objective case pronoun, you need the objective case whom in the relative clause.  

*Try answering the question with he/him. Who goes with he (subjective case) and whom goes with him (objective case).
