问题: 语法.帮我分析下这句话

课本上的句子
he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as jim.

..这句话中的whom 我一直不理解这用法

解答:

这是定语从句的用法, figure作为先行词, whom是关系代词, he immediately recognized as jim是限定先行词figure的

先行词为物时,关系代词可以用which, that
先行词为人时,关系代词可以用who, whom,that

who与whom的区别,理论上说,who 为主格,whom为宾格:

Where’s the girl who sells the tickets? 卖票的女孩在哪里?

The author whom you criticized in your view has written a letter in reply. 你在评论中批评的那个作者已写了一封回信。

但实际上,除非在正式文体中,宾格关系代词 whom 往往省略不用,或用who或that代之:

The man (that, who, whom) you met just now is called Jim. 你刚遇见的那个人叫吉姆。

不过,在以下几种情况值得注意:

1. 直接跟在介词后面作宾语时,只能用 whom,而且不能省略:

She brought with her three friends, none of whom I had ever met before. 她带了3个朋友来,我以前都没见过。

2. 引导非限制性定语从句且作宾语时,who 和 whom均可用,但以用 whom 为佳,此时也不能省略:

This is Jack, who [whom] you haven’t met before. 这是杰克,你以前没见过。

所以在这个句中,你用who, whom都可以的
