英语定语从句! !选择题看不懂为啥不能选whom？

Question

He is quite worn out from years of hard work.He is not the man______he was twenty years ago.
A.which
B.that
C.who
D.whom
whom难道不能作he was (the man)后面的宾语吗??

Answer 1

whom 是在定语从句中作宾语用，而本句定语从句中的谓语是系动词 was，所以此句关系代词代替the man 在定从中不是作宾语而是作表语。所以应该用 who，不用whom。追答

如还有疑问，欢迎追问，有问必答！
