Today we're looking at pronouns, and in particular, the pronouns 'who', 'whose' and 'whom'.

今日は代名詞、特に、'who', 'whose', 'whom'を見ていきます。

The differences between them and how we use them.

これらの違いと、使い方ですね。

As I said they are all pronouns, but with some differences.

言ったように、これらは全て代名詞ですが、少し違いがあります。

'Who', for example, is the subjective pronoun and we use that when we're talking about he, she or they.

例えば'who'は、主格代名詞で、he, she, theyについて話す時に使います。

'Whom' is an objective pronoun, and we use that when we're talking about him and her.

'whom'は目的格代名詞で、himやherについて話す時に使います。

And the 'whose'. w-h-o-s-e, is the possessive pronoun that we use when we're talking about his, hers, ours. Ok?

それから'whose'ですね。これは所有格代名詞で、his, hers, oursについて話す時に使います。良いですか？

So, let's look at some examples.

例を見てみましょう。

Uh, 'Who', as I said, is the, uh, subjective pronoun, and it's all about action.

話したとおり、'Who'は主格代名詞で、行動について述べます。

Somebody doing the action.

誰かが行動をしているんですね。

'Who did the action?'

誰が行動をしたのか？

'Who wrote the letter?'

誰が手紙を書いたのか？

'Who knocked on the door?'

誰がドアをノックしたのか？

'Who is joining us next week?' Ok?

誰が来週加わるのか？良いでしょうか。

And 'whom' is a objective pronoun, and it's about somebody receiving the action.

'whome'は目的格代名詞で、行動を受ける人についてです。

'Whom did you invite to the party?'

誰をパーティーに招待したのか？

'Whom did they select as the new president?'

新しい社長に誰を選んだのか？

And then 'whose' as we said is a possessive pronoun, so it's about belonging.

'whose'は所有格代名詞なので、所有についてです。

We're trying to find out who this belongs to.

これが誰の物なのか、解明しようとしています。

'Whose pen is this?'

これは誰のペンなのか？

'Whose jacket is this?'

これは誰のジャケットなのか？

'Whose car was that?'

あれは誰の車なのか？

Okay, so 'who' 'whom' and 'whose'. All about pronouns.

'who', 'whom', 'whose'、全て代名詞です。
