Welcome to Vol. 1, No. 8 edition of the English language clinic bulletin. The bulletin has been created purposely to help improve the English proficiency of English users and learners worldwide.
In this edition, our main focus for the week will be on the “CORRECT USE OF RELATIVE PRONOUNS, WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON ‘WHO’ & ‘WHOM”. It is no longer news that the relative pronouns – ‘who’ and ‘whom’ are one of the most misused and complex relative pronouns in English language. This can obviously be attributed to lack of good academic materials and resources which can completely demystify and clarify distinctively their peculiar uses and functions. It is not enough to just say: ‘who’ refers to the subject, while ‘whom’ refers to the object, there are still many complications, exceptions and technicalities sorrounding that simple rule, and that is why many still have problems understanding the real grammatical and contextual use of these two relative pronouns.
In the ‘Spoken English Segment’, our CONSONANT CONTRAST SERIES continues. In this edition, we shall be contrasting consonant sounds /n/ and /?/. Also, in this edition, we shall be looking at “GRAMMATICAL NAMES & THEIR FUNCTIONS. The “idiom of the week” and other segments have all been retained for your reading pleasure and entertainment.
This edition, as usual, promises to be informative, educative and entertaining. Sit back and enjoy. On behalf of the English Language Clinic crew, welcome on board!
