P. 8
To whom does this pen belong?
To whom am I speaking?
To whom should I write a letter?
For whom the bell tolls. (This is the title of a book by
Ernest Hemingway).
There is also a golden rule in written English, never
end a sentence with a preposition. It often happens in
spoken English, but you should avoid this practice in
written English. Here is an example,
Who owns this?
'This' is a preposition; although this sentence is quite
normal in spoken English. In written English you would
name the item, for example,
Who owns this dog?
This completes Lesson 37
