Who vs Whom - English Grammar - Teaching Tips

 

"Who" and "whom" are another set of words that often causes confusion. Howeer, there is actuall a simple trick to deciding which one to use in a sentence. "Who" is used to refer to the subject of a sentence and 'whom' is used to refer to the object. Keeping this in mind will eliminate the chance of making mistakes. We recommend the following trick. The usage of these two words is the same as he and him. "He" is the subject and "him" is the object. If you are confused about which one you should use, look at the sentences and check whether "he" or "him" should be used. If it's "he", then you should use "who". If it's "him", then "whom" should be used.

Creating a safe environment in the classroom is critical for student success. A sense of community if fostered by allowing the learning process--which includes errors and correction--to unfold naturally. Pair work and small groups give all students an opportunity to collaborate with peers and trade off being in both leadership and student roles.This unit provided an example of what a bad lesson looks like, and the first video was painful to watch. It reinforced my philosophies of engagement with students rather than repetition of the same word or phrase over again. The lesson also showed what a successful lesson looks like, revealing the fun that both the teacher and students can have.
