Dear teachers:
(a) I went to the movies with Mary, *who* I think you once met.
(b) I went to the movies with Mary, *whom* I think you once met.
Are both correct?
Thanks. |

i'd say only (a) is correct because 'whom' is used in the genitive, dative/ablative cases and here's an accusative case.
but i'm not really sure about that.

| Whom is correct, but who is acceptable. |

Thanks. I think I would stick to the grammatically correct "whom".  |
