minus-square@e_chao@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink24•2 months agoThis is a really good point, but I feel like an English teacher would have written “whom I married.”
minus-square@GojuRyu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink10•2 months agoNon native English speaker here with a genuine question; wouldn’t “telling the students whom I married” mean that the teacher married the students instead of telling students about their spouse?
minus-square@e_chao@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 months agoI think you’re right. The clause should actually be something like “disclose to my students the gender of my spouse.” How does that sound?
minus-squareGinny [they/she]linkfedilink1•edit-22 months agoEither a comma or parentheses are what would make the difference. I will tell the students whom I married. Now the students know who was at your wedding. I will tell the students, whom I married. I will tell the students (whom I married). You’re only telling something to the students that you married.
minus-square@nepenthes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 months agoYou are correct. Your English is great!
minus-square@ulternolinkEnglish-1•2 months agoThey are only stopping the “who I married”-teachers form selecting the books. The “whom I married”-teachers get to select the book for them.

It’s the other way around.
