Pronoun case exercise 1
✓ Useful for TOEFL
✓ Useful for Cambridge B2/C1
DID YOU KNOW?
Pronoun case — who vs whom, I vs me — is a reliable differentiator between B2 and C1 writers.
Subject pronouns (I, he, she, they, who) perform the action; object pronouns (me, him, her, them, whom) receive it. The confusion between who and whom is especially common and especially tested: Cambridge Use of English (Part 2) and TOEFL sentence correction both include pronoun case questions regularly.
A quick test: if you can answer the clause with him, use whom (To whom did you speak? — I spoke to him). IELTS writing at Band 7+ is expected to handle pronoun case correctly without hesitation. This exercise trains that automaticity.
