Hi Marriapan,
Sorry for the delay. I'd asked Lilian to answer your questions, and I was
surprised when I saw that she didn't.
I was away, to my home-town for some time.
1) Whom shall I give this to? (*wrong*)
2) Whom do you believe did this? (*wrong*)
3) Whom are you speaking?(*wrong*)
Who are you speaking? (*wrong*)
Who are you speaking to? (*correct*)
4) Whom do you think they are? (*wrong*)
5) What do you consider in the right? (*wrong*)
6) Whom, do you consider, is right? (*wrong*)
7) Whom did you speak to? (*wrong*)
8) Whom is that for? (*wrong*)
Who is that for? (*wrong*)
What is that for? (*correct*)
[When you say, "What is that for?", there is an object you are seeing or
thinking about, and you want to know what it is for.
For example : You enter your friend's workshop. You see a weird looking tool
there. As you are curious, you ask your friend, pointing towards the tool,
"What is that for?" ]
9) What did they fight each other for?
[Suppose, 2 persons were fighting. The fight has ended now. You are
inquiring the eye witnesses, what they were fighting for. ]
10) Whom am I speaking to, please? (*wrong*)
*
regards
anu*
