who is the old man with whom you were talking?
问题描述：
who is the old man with whom you were talking?
当主句是以who或which开头的特殊疑问句时只能用that,但这个地方介词提前,所以用whom.这是否是矛盾.
答
这句话可以写成：Who is the old man you were talking with?这样句子成分就很清晰了.为什么写成以上那样.这是定语从句的习题。哦。是这样的。主句话可以划分成主句里包含了一个定语从句。主句就是“Who is the old man？”.后面的“with whom you were talking”是修饰前面"the old man"的定语从句。介词引导定语从句。后面要跟宾格。所以用whom.主句既然是“Who is the old man？”当主句是以who或which开头的特殊疑问句时只能用that？没有这个规定吧。我是没听说过啊这里的who是指old man吧，那他应该是宾语，不属于那个语法，还有有这个规定，语法书上的。who 是特殊疑问词啊亲。后面的定语从句修饰的是后面的the old man.这句话的意思就是：那个和你交谈的老人是谁？你说的那个who引导，后面只能用that的语法我确实没听过。所以帮不了你了。
