if you have a better way to say this sentence plz let me know! this is the concluding sentence to my really big essay due tom and i want it to be perfect...thx!

Answer 1

I like Whom in that sentence.

Answer 2

how bout this:
Therefore, during the civil war, it was proven that none of the men's acheivments could have been even possible without the women, the people that helped to guide them through this harsh and dangerous time.

kinda long, but it would work, i think. then again, i'm in 5th, so i don't know much about the civil war yet...

Answer 3

Who

Answer 4

it's who. Whom would be used more like... without the women by whom they were guided, or something like that. But in your sentence it's who and i think your closing sentence is fine.

Answer 5

who

i think this is better:
Therefore, during the Civil War, none of the men’s achievements could have been possible without the help of the women.

Answer 6

Who relates to whom in the same way he relates to him. Who is the subject, whom is the object.

We can keep most pronouns straight most of the time. Native speakers of English, for instance, would never say, "Him go to the party" or "The ball hit he." Yet when using who/whom those same speakers often get confused.

The confusion arises because who and whom are used only in questions — "Who called?" "To whom did she speak?" — or in relative clauses:

"The boy who lives next door called us."
"She spoke to George, with whom she had attended many meetings."

In yours, who would be used.

Answer 7

Who, for sure. Maybe instead of starting your sentence with "Therefore," you could write "In conclusion,". Looks good though!

Answer 8

Who.

Answer 9

who

Answer 10

who.

The sentence is perfect as is.
