Writing Challenge, Day 206
Today is day 206 of my daily English writing challenge.
Today I spoke with a friend thatwith whom I hadn't spoken with him for a while.
Today I spoke with a friend with whom I hadn't spoken for a while.
or,
-1: Today I spoke with a friend whom I hadn't spoken with for a while.
-2: Today I spoke with a friend who I hadn't spoken with for a while.
My first correction is considered grammatically correct but a lot of people use the third correction when speaking. The corrections are in order of being less grammatically correct but more commonly said.
Since "your friend" is the object of a preposition, it's supposed to take "whom" instead of "who." "Who" is for referencing the subject of a sentence.
I was so delighted to know he was well.
