who
/ˈhu/KK
1.
誰；什麼人
極常用
用來詢問或指稱人的身分或姓名
用法：可作主詞或補語。詢問動作的執行者時，後面直接接動詞，例如「誰打電話來了」；詢問受詞時，正式英文常用 whom，但日常美式英文通常也用 who
do you know who she is?
who is it?
who are you?
who called?
who wants some cake?
Who left this umbrella here?
是誰把這把雨傘留在這裡？
還有 1 個進階的意思（國小之後才會學到）
2.
……的人；那個……的人
極常用
引導關係子句，指稱前面提到的人
用法：關係代名詞「who」通常在子句中作主詞。若作受詞，日常英文常省略，或使用「whom」於較正式的語境
the student who won the prize
the teacher who helped me
people who live nearby
a friend who loves cooking
the woman who called you
The student who sits next to me is from Taiwan.
坐在我旁邊的學生來自台灣。
常見錯誤
Who you are?
Who are you?
I know who is she.
I know who she is.
Who did called you?
Who called you?
Who did you meet yesterday? — I met my friend.
Whom did you meet yesterday? — I met my friend.／Who did you meet yesterday? — I met my friend.

學習提示
・直接問句和間接問句的語序不同：「你知道她是誰嗎？」要說成「你知道她是誰嗎」對應的英文語序，而不是直接問句語序
・「Who」通常指人；詢問事物時通常使用「what」，詢問選擇或特定事物時常使用「which」
・在日常美式英文中，「who」可自然地作動詞受詞
