(wasn't sure if this should be in Life Advice or here... whatever.)

Since these forums are probably home to the most diverse range of people I have access to, it seemed like a good place to post a survey.
Just answer "who" or "whom" for the blanks below - try not to think about it, just put in what you'd normally respond with. Also age and gender if you would, please.

a. ____ are you talking to?
b. ____ gave you that book?
c. ____ shall I say is calling?
d. To ____ are you giving the book?
e. I like the man I to ____ I gave the book.
f. I don't particularly like the man to ____ I gave the magazine.
g. I really like the woman ____ gave me the book.

No idea if that is right, but I figure it "to whom" sounds more sane that "to who".

b. Who
c. Who
d. Whom
e. Whom
f. Whom
g. Who

(also e. has an error--you probably want to strike that middle "I" :] )

If I may ask, what class is this for?

LING 301, The English Language. Just an assignment in the back of the book, really, but since I didn't feel like tracking down all my friends at 11 at night (and it's due at 1 today) I figured I'd just put it up here.

Ok, I've got all I need; thanks all.
