Technically it's fine, but most natives would use "who" is that position instead of "whom" and I would shorten it by saying "at the airport information desk."
Thanks!
I heard that whom is hardly ever used in spoken English, is that correct?
Not a teacher.
My girlfriend is German and has studied English, so I make a point - almost puritanically - of speaking correctly. I still say 'whom'!
My version of that sentence would be: 'To whom did you talk at the airport information desk?'; but I agree with Barb_D: most English speakers - as opposed to writers - would have it her way.
Thanks, guys! Your comments are indeed very helpful! :)
