Whom or Who in this sentence: These men, all of WHOM or WHO were well-known, well-respected statesmen, were viewed by their peers [duplicate]
Here's the full sentence: "These men, all of who were well-known, well-respected statesmen, were viewed by their peers and common people alike as great thinkers in their day.
I just can't really see where it would fall into: subject? predicate? object? What would it be?
Here's the formula I use for on-the-fly decisions on this common dilemma"
Who = he (singular) / they (plural)
Whom = him (singular) / them (plural)
Substitute the translations in the appropriate phrase:
...all of they were well-known... (?)
...all of them were well-known... (?)
Of course the proper choice is "them." So
...all of whom were well-known...
