I am somewhat confused on the above sentences. Can you please assist me in finding the answers to getting the answers correctly.

who = subject word

whom = object word

Let us know what you decide.

First, identify the verb.

Then ask who is doing this action?
Locate any prepositional phrases.

1. The verb is "asked."
2. Do you see the preposition in this sentence?
3. One of the verbs is "tried."

Please answer the above questions and try the last two.

1. Subject

2. direct object
3. subject
4. direct object
5. subject

Can you please double check my answers. Would any of these be object of preposition?

Thank you

2 is incorrect. The others are correct.

What kind of object is that "whom" in 2?

Of course! Let's go through each sentence together and determine the function of the underlined word.

1. Who asked for athletic tape?
In this sentence, "Who" is used as the subject of the sentence. It is the one performing the action (asking for athletic tape).

2. That is the gymnast with whom I study.
In this sentence, "whom" is used as the object of the preposition "with." It is the person with whom the speaker studies.

3. He is an athlete who once tried out for the Olympic Team.
In this sentence, "who" is used as a relative pronoun introducing a relative clause that provides additional information about the noun "athlete." It is not functioning as a subject, object, or preposition. The entire relative clause "who once tried out for the Olympic Team" gives more detail about the athlete.

4. Whom have you told?
In this sentence, "Whom" is used as the direct object of the verb "have told." It is the person being informed or told in this context.

5. I told my cousin, who is only eleven.
In this sentence, "who" is used as a relative pronoun introducing a relative clause that provides additional information about the noun "cousin." It is not functioning as a subject, object, or preposition. The entire relative clause "who is only eleven" gives more detail about the cousin.

To determine the function of the underlined word, it's important to understand the grammatical roles of subjects, objects of prepositions, direct objects, and relative pronouns. By analyzing the structure and context of each sentence, you can identify the specific function.
