Wink Re: Who or Whom

Hey,I think I may help...In the first sentence,"the woman" is an object in the attribute subordinate clause,so in that case,both who and whom can be accepted.But in the second sentence,"the woman" performed as a subject where "who" can only be used. You could put "the woman" in the subordinate clause to find out if it is a subject or an object.
