In the following questions, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the option corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the 'No Error' option. I consulted an attorney (P)/ who I met in (Q)/Lucknow last month(R)/ No error (S). Correct Answer Q

The error lies in part Q of the question. Therefore the correct answer is option 2.

The relative pronoun ‘who’ is used to come in the place of a personal pronoun in the subjective case (he, she, you, they) while 'whom' is used in objective case (him, her, you, them). The difference in their usage can be easily understood with these two examples-

I. He is a teacher. He likes to paint. He is a teacher who likes to paint. In this sentence, the pronoun ‘who’ replaces the underlined pronoun ‘he’ which is in the subjective case.

II. He is a teacher. Students like him a lot. He is a teacher whom students like a lot. In this sentence, the pronoun ‘whom’ replaces the underlined pronoun ‘him’ which is in the objective case.

Correct Sentence-  I consulted an attorney whom I met in Lucknow last month.

Tip- To see whether the relative pronoun 'who' or 'whom' is correctly used in a given sentence, try to form two different sentences out of a single one like this:

I consulted an attorney. I met him in Lucknow.

If in joining the two sentences, the relative pronoun is replacing a personal pronoun in the objective case (him, her, them, me, us) then the use of 'whom' is correct but if the relative pronoun is replacing a personal pronoun in the subjective case (she, he, they, I, we) then the use of 'who' is correct.
