how do we determine whether to use “who” or “whom” as the relative pronoun in an adjective clause? follow these steps:
- determine the function of the relative pronoun within the clause.
- if the relative pronoun has a nominative function—subject or predicate nominative—use “who.” if the word has an objective function—direct object or object of a preposition—use “whom.”
determine the function of the relative pronoun needed; then write the correct pronoun in the blank.

For question (12): The adjective clause would be "who had Godly character" (we need to add the relative pronoun). The relative pronoun "who" is used because it functions as the subject in the clause "who had Godly character" (nominative function - subject). So the blank is filled with "who".
For question (13): The clause is "whom we meet". The relative pronoun "whom" is used because in the clause "we meet whom", "whom" is the direct object (objective function). So the blank is filled with "whom".
For question (14): The clause is "who walks with God". "Who" is the subject of "walks with God" (nominative function), so the blank is filled with "who".
For question (15): The first blank: "who walks with God" - "who" is the subject (nominative function). The second blank: "whom others will admire" - "whom" is the direct object of "admire" (objective function). So first blank "who", second blank "whom".
