	Sarangadhar  #453050  Fri, 14 Dec 07 05:17 AM Whom you are going to marry? Whom are you going to marry? 1st one is wrong.  Can I say this rule - "Subject and Object can never come next to each other".  Else, are there any exceptions?    Sarangadhar Joined on Wed, Nov 7 2007 New Member (48)

	CalifJim  #453060  Fri, 14 Dec 07 05:36 AM Can I say this rule - "Subject and Object can never come next to each other" No, because the word order is different in an indirect question:  I wonder whom you are going to marry and in a relative clause:  She is the woman whom you are going to marry.
