Grammar advice? :)

Is the sentence "This is bad and good, but the question is: 'from whom's point of view?'" a, uh, grammatically correct sentence? As I know, whom comes after prepositions and is an object, while who is a.. subject? Thanks :smile:

I think its whose, but I know nothing about these kinds of things.
 
Whom is the objective case and who is the subjective case. It helps to know that you can replace "whom" with him/her and the sentence will still make sense, while you can replace "who" with he/she.

ex: Whom does she know?
Who are you?
This is he.

In the clause you provided, "from whom's point of view," it should be "from whose point of view."
 
Hooray! I got something right for once!

Would it be "This is me" or "This is I"?
