whom

[navi tasan]

Are these sentences correct:

1-He is the employee about whom I'd like to ask you questions.
2-He is the employee about whom I have to know what he does for a living.

[Mister Micawber]

.
1 is fine if overformal.

2 may be grammatically correct, but it is so awkward that it is difficult to tell-- the reader doesn't want to bother sorting out a mixed bag of subjects and objects; s/he just wants it to be comprehensible:

'I want to know what this employee does for a living. No, not that one-- this one.'

.

1-He is the employee about whom I'd like to ask you questions.

A more likely sentence is: He's the employee I want to ask you some questions about.

or: He's the one I want to ask you about.

or: I want to ask you some questions about him.

These are more likely in spoken language. "Whom" is not used often.

I think the context would say "he's the employee". The speaker might not really need to say that.
