I loved the car right up until the moment my wife, whom I was teaching how to drive a stick shift, drove it into a Dodge truck.
Sounds a little funny, but isn't "I" is the subject of the phrase, "was teaching" the verb, and "whom" the object?
@bigdancehawk,
you're right. the wife is the object being taught. you can change the clause to "i was teaching
her how to drive...," which makes it clear she's the object.
@bigdancehawk,
. . . , who was learning to drive a stick shift, . . .
@perennialloner,
Thanks Loner, but this diff is on the way out
...along with much other incidental grammar
