Who is it? It is I. Whom do you love? I love she.

These are two different sentence structures even though they look similar. In "It is I", "is" is a helping verb and should be followed by "I". In "I love her", "her" is a direct object of an active verb. You can get away with "It is me" although not technically correct, but "I love she" is completely wrong.

I love she doesn't make sense. It's 'I love her'. So you use whom. Whom do you love? I love her.

Remember, you have the option of using 'whom', Gracie.

"Kiss whom goodbye. It is rarely heard in conversation now, and just about never in clause-initial position. This word is nearly dead. It is close to being no more. It has all but ceased to be. If it wasn't Magic-Markered onto a defaced flag from time to time it would be pushing up the daisies. This is almost an ex-word."

G Pullum - Co-author of The Cambridge Grammar of the English language

Oh, right! You can choose. Sorry, our teacher makes us use it. I got confused. Haha!

I love sidhe (pronounced "shee")

The host is riding from Knocknarea
And over the grave of Clooth-na-Bare;
Caoilte tossing his burning hair,
And Niamh calling Away, come away:
Empty your heart of its mortal dream.
The winds awaken, the leaves whirl round,
Our cheeks are pale, our hair is unbound,
Our breasts are heaving our eyes are agleam,
Our arms are waving our lips are apart;
And if any gaze on our rushing band,
We come between him and the deed of his hand,
We come between him and the hope of his heart.
The host is rushing 'twixt night and day,
And where is there hope or deed as fair?
Caoilte tossing his burning hair,
And Niamh calling Away, come away.

"The Hosting of the Sidhe," William Butler Yeats, 1893

Hi Setana!!

Don't be sayin' that ! ! !

I'm not high.

Hahaha!!

Listen to your teacher when it comes to exam time, Gracie.

Also, listen to your teacher when ever she uses 'who'. Write down the sentence that she said. You'll find that she doesn't use 'whom' as she is teaching and forcing/suggesting you students do.

As Steven Pinker said in The Language Instinct, [parphrased] the very fact that these "rules" have to be drilled shows that they are alien to the system of English.

Did you read the quote by Professor Pullum in my last post regarding 'whom'?

Let me make one thing clear, Gracie. I'm not recommending that you confront your teacher on these issues, in fact, I would recommend against doing that for a number of very good reasons.

Yeah, and I get it.

And, writing down the sentences is a really good idea too. Thanks!
I wont confront my teacher. Haha! Even if I think some of the things she says is confusing or annoying. I dont want a detension. My English III teacher has 'zero-tolerance for disrespect'. At least thats what it she said on my syllabus. Haha!
