Who, whom, as, like

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

I hate these words with a passion. I always get stumbled on them when doing sentence correction. I have looked online on the different rules governing how these words are used. I think I understand the rules, but who can really say that they understand something until they have tried it. Sometimes, I wonder why English is such a weird language with all these rules. For whom were these rules written for?

These rules are like mazes that are difficult to navigate. However, as someone who is preparing for sentence correction questions, I should be more careful when I see these words.
