Subject or Object?
|
|
Can someone clarify? - Who is the speaker asking this question?
Does the word �who � refer to Subject or Object? Do I have to say the speaker �s name or the listener �s name? |

"Who" refers to subject, so you have to answer who is asking the question. |

paolato is correct; "who" is the subject. "The speaker" is a predicate nominative referring back to "who." The correct answer is the speaker �s name, the one who is asking the question. The listener isn �t mentioned anywhere in this question. |
