Whom , for whom 的用法

http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=607692

Who did you buy it for? is what most people would say and is standard English.

Whom did you buy it for? is the formal way of saying it.


To understand who and whom, you only need to remember a simple rule: if whom is alone, that typically means that a preposition is implied: "for" whom.

Prepositions come before whom most of the time.

of whom
for whom
to whom
by whom
of whom is calling.. yada yada..

To satisfy my own curiosity, I used on-line versions of A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist to find out exactly what Dickens did.

At no time did he ever split "whom" from a preposition. This simply supports the opinion that you and I seem to share: In formal register, if "whom" must be used, it is safest to "go all the way". Don't separate "whom" from it's preposition.

Use: For whom did you buy it?

In relaxed conversation, any of these might be heard from well-educated people:

1) For whom did you buy it?
2) Whom did you buy it for?
3) Who did you buy it for?

My personal preference is to use either one or three. I would save one for formal writing.

I think this is fairly common in AE.

In BE I believe that two also happens surprisingly often in relaxed situations. I hope we will get more feedback from other members on the other side of The Pond.

Curious - I haven't analysed whom-use in this much detail before and I am rather suspect I'm now going to appear inconsistent.

I would never use something like (2).
I would normally say (3) - there is something strange about starting a sentence with whom.
I might say (1) if feeling whimsical.

I don't use direct speech in writing - well, very seldom. But even then I can't imagine using (2).

Maybe I need to wander off for another think about this.

I think this is because you instinctively sense that (2) is "neither fish nor fowl".

Here is part of it, I perhaps:

"You are the only person with whom I've shared these personal feelings."

I might say that to someone very close because it's rather intense. There is nothing informal about the thought.

But I think even there I would be more likely to say:

"You are the only person I've shared these personal feelings with."

This structure is by no means rare in the writing of people from the 1800s, and that was the point of the Dicken's sentence I mentioned in the "Help with prepositions - Up with which I will not put?" thread:

Dickens: The mention of Marley's funeral brings me back to the point I started from.

Now, if Dickens' had used "which", then he would have flipped to the other structure:

Not Dickens: The mention of Marley's funeral brings me back to the point from which I started.

These are simply to different ways of using English, and my instinct tells me that one is influenced by Latin (forced by grammarians), but the other is just as correct and perhaps predates the other.

So when you use the "who omitting" phrase:

"You are the only person I've shared these personal feelings with."

I think you instinctively use "who" if you add it without changing the structure:

"You are the only person who I've shared these personal feelings with."

This is why I think that it sounds "forced" to use "whom" when the preposition goes to the end. It's just a theory, but it seems to match with what I heard and see on both sides of The Pond.

She is a teacher than whom no one is more patient. = She is a teacher whom (who) no one is more patient than. 只是把介系詞than在附屬子句(形容詞子句當修飾語)前後移動而已,不影響句子的意思和文法。



類以的句子還有:



I wonder to whom he's talking. = I wonder who (whom) he's talking to.



I don't know to whom to give it. = I don't know who (whom) to give it to.



To whom did you give it? = Whom (who) did you give it to?



To whom did the detective show his badge? = Who (whom) did the detective show his badge to?

Begin & start 的用法

基本上start 和begin 意義及用法相同. 兩者都可以接不定詞或動名詞:
They will start working on the project soon.
Let’s begin reading the book.

但start 比較強調啟始 ,啟動的概念; begin指比較自然, 順理成章的開始. 下列四句是start 和begin較合宜的用法. 但若把句中start 換成begin或begin換成start意義差別不大:

The play begins at eight o'clock.
I began to understand the whole thing.

Next week I'll start to learn English
He started to talk after a cup of coffee.

雖說在當代英語中, start 和begin 意義及用法有漸趨一致的傾向. 但下列各句中的start則決對不能用begin置換:

We will stay on the platform until the train starts. (開動)
John’s father started the company. (創始)
I could not start my car this morning. (發動)
Push the green button to start the machine. (啟動)

"at weekends" is BE and "on weekends" is AE. Both are correct, just depends on your audience or which you usually use.

Edit: I would rather say "at the weekend" too.

介係詞的用法

http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/jw!cAKcEOKWERnFv9UGZSbl4T7WW4c-/article?mid=2023

跟屁蟲又分兩類: 1.加了會不一樣. (片語動詞=又稱為兩字動詞)

兩個字加起來才完整的動詞,稱做片語動詞.

2.加了還是一樣. (不及物動詞+介詞+名詞)

舉一個中文的例子:

1. 他掛了. 與 他掛衣服. 與 他掛念他. 就是第一類.

act up. act on. act. 加了會不一樣,俗稱"片語動詞"

2. 加了還是一樣,就是第二類.

deal with. talk to. 等只為了再家一個名詞!

兩字動詞 & 考題

http://tsw.hhups.tp.edu.tw/abc/phrase/


標題句:Please turn on the TV.
    Please turn it on.
She turned the TV on.

結 構:可分兩字動詞



到目前為止,我們所學者絕大部分為單字形的動詞,如 study, sleep, write, play 等等,但有些動詞的意思表達,是要以片語的形式,如 ask for, come back, go back, , cry out, get to, get on, get off, get up, grow up, hear from, listen to, look around, look at, look down, look for, run after, shut up, sit down, stand up, wait for 等等,和單字形的動詞使用習慣一樣,以上這些兩字形動詞,其實也不會造成我們在使用上的困難。

但有些兩個字所組成的動詞片語(稱為「兩字動詞」則不同,先看底下的例句:

e.g. 1. Please wake up your sister at seven o'clock.
2. Please wake your sister up at seven o'clock.
3. Please wake me up at seven o'clock.

例句 3 顯然和其他兩個例句不同,也就是說,當兩字動詞片語的受詞是名詞時,則該受詞的位置有兩個,放在兩字動詞片語的中間或後面均可,這樣的情形對我們來說,不會造成學習上的困難,反正兩個位置都對;但若受詞是「人稱代名詞」時,則只能夠放在兩字動詞片語的中間。這種特殊的用法,國中階段常用的有:

find out:找到
get back:取回
give up:放棄
look up:查閱
pick up:檢起來
put down:放下
put on:穿(戴)上
take away:拿開;拿走
take off:脫掉
turn on:開(開關)
turn off:關(開關)
wake up:叫醒

記憶方法:這種兩字動詞片語最惱人者,莫過於常背錯,若你仍未找到適當的方法,在此依經驗提供一個有效的方法,即在上述的兩字動詞中間,均加上 it 而後一起背,應會達到不錯的效果,如:

find it out  give it up  look it up  pick it up  put it down  put it on  turn it on/off  wake it up

[ 檢舉 ] .版主您好:

這個題目如果只講"文法", 那麼就如同幾位大大所說的內容:

1. [need]當一般動詞使用, 必須跟著主詞與時態來變化, 而且其後要接不定詞[to V]或動名詞[Ving]. 所以第一個答案加了s, 就表示這種用法; 問題是"一般動詞"的否定是藉由助動詞[do/does not]來表達, 而不能直接加[not]. 因此依規則論, 要改為
Mr. Lin does not need to wash his motorcycle. (一般動詞)
如果把[need]當助動詞, 那就不必須跟著主詞與時態來變化(它只用於現在式), 而且多出現在否定及疑問句. 所以要改為:
Mr. Lin need not wash his motorcycle.

那麼3.不適合的原因就很清楚了: 肯定句多把[need]當一般動詞使用, 所以要改為:
Mr. Lin needs to wash his motorcycle.

結果2. 與 4.在文法上都挑不出毛病, 如果是複選題還OK, 如果是單選呢?

這時候就要考慮"語法"了.

您先考慮一下主詞[林先生]與[洗車]這件事的關係, 不外乎是:
1. 林先生"必須/不必"洗車. (義務關係)
2. 林先生"該/還不用"洗車. (與車子髒不髒有關)
如果是1. 通常是用
Mr. Lin [has to]/[must]/[ought to] wash his motorcycle.
如果是2. 通常是用
Mr. Lin should wash his motorcycle.
Mr. Lin's motorcycle needs washing.

[need]通常是要表達滿足主詞的"需求"(如例句, [washing]是[motorcycle]的需求), 所以就本題而言, 只有在少數狀況, 譬如說:
林先生是個有潔癖或極度狂熱的車迷, 每天都得把車洗得一塵不染; 或林先生打算把愛車賣了, 為了賣相好一點, 得把車洗一洗.



類似這樣的狀況, 才會用[need].



既然如此, 如果是單選, 就挑2.吧!
