Mistakes in the paragraph. WHO OR WHOM GRAMMAR

'Who' is used as the subject of a verb (nominative case); 'whom' is used for the object (direct or indirect) of a verb ('whom': accusative case; 'of whom': genitive case; 'to/for whom': dative case; 'by/with/from whom': ablative case). 'Who'/'whom'/'whose' always refers to a person or a group of persons. 'Which' is used to refer to things/animals/inanimate objects. There is something of a 'grey area' when deciding which pronoun to use for an organisation or a company (which consists of a group of people). Really, a company, an organisation or a team is an inanimate thing, so one usually uses 'which': "The business which has the biggest turnover" "The company for which I work." "The team of which I am a member." "The organization to which I belong." Some people, however, like to think of their company or team is a group of people, so may write: "Our team, who are involved in customer service, will attend to your every need." This is incorrect! A 'team' is a unit - a singular thing - so the verb in the relative clause, being in the plural, is wrong. This error is somewhat disguised by the fact that 'will attend' may be singular or plural. If one were to write the sentence in the present tense (either "... are ready to attend to your every need" or "... is ready ...") it is easier to see how muddled thinking has contributed to the error. If one wants to stress the fact that the team (or company) is composed of real people, then one would have to rewrite the relative clause like this: "Our team, the members of which are involved in customer service, is ready to/will attend to your every need." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are a number of other errors in the passage you quote besides the incorrect case of the relative pronoun. - 'People ... that are passionate about their business' should be 'People ... who are passionate about their business' but this would make the adjectival clause 'whom we meet' sound decidedly awkward. - One should not start a sentence with a conjunction. The full stop before "But ..." is incorrect. (The exception to this is when 'however' is used as the conjuction). In any case, why use 'but' here? Surely, people who are 'passionate about their business' should be expected to also 'crave growth'. 'And' would be more logical as the conjunction here (and 'they' then becomes redundant) - There is a redundant 'is' after 'Success' in the fourth sentence. - The definite article before 'creative work' is incorrect (a common error). The writer is talking of a generality (and using 'creative work' as a collective noun), not any specific creative work, so NO article should be used. In better, plainer English, it might be: "Our organization has over ["more than" might be better] a decade of experience in marketing. We love meeting people who are passionate about their business and crave growth. Success with us is practically inevitable. Our team shares passion. Being an integrated marketing agency, we have the ability to execute creative work in many ways."

Our organization has over a decade of experience in marketing. We love people that we meet who are passionate about their business but crave growth. Success with us is almost inevitable. Our team has a shared passion and, being an integrated marketing agency, we have the ability to execute the creative work in many ways. Note, whom or whomever are used for the object of a sentence, who or whoever when referring to the subject. You cannot say 'practically inevitable' since it implies the only chance of failure is theoretical and that is untrue, what you mean is 'almost.' I have also joined some of your sentences together with conjunctions that render it less stilted and more readable. all the best, urban

“Our organization has over a decade of experience in marketing. We love people who we meet that are passionate about their business. But they crave growth. Success is with us is practically inevitable. Our team shares passion. Being an integrated marketing agency, we have the ability to execute the creative work in many ways. I am unhappy with the sentence because I feel it is slightly clumsy. I shall come to it later. Regarding the query about ‘whom’ and ‘whom’ I shall suggest one easy way to get the right usage without thinking about whether it is in the nominative or accusative case. Take two examples Example 1] “I love my sister who spoke to you yesterday”. Now split it—“I love my sister .She spoke to you yesterday... “The word “she’ denotes the sister here and is the subject of the second sentence. Who spoke to you? Sister spoke to you------Got it? ‘She’ is the subject. While combining it write it as “I love my sister who spoke to you yesterday” Example 2] I love my sister whom you met yesterday. Split it I love my sister .You met her yesterday. You met someone. Whom did you meet? You met ‘sister’. You met her—Got it? In the second sentence ’her ‘is the object. While combining it write it as “I love my sister whom you met yesterday. Relative pronoun used instead of a ‘subject’ –who Relative pronoun used instead of the ‘object’.-whom. Coming to the sentence given “We love people who we meet that are passionate about their business.”—Think about it with the example given above. I shall continue later; I have some work to do. But I shall get back.

The corrected form of the sentence would be as follows-'Our organization has over a decade of experience in marketing. We love people whom we meet and are passionate about their business. But they crave growth. Success with us is practically inevitable. Our team shares passion. Being an integrated marketing agency, we have the ability to execute the creative work in many ways.'
