She or her

It ought to be her with whom you share your secrets, not me.

A. her with whom you share your secrets, not me
B. her with whom you share your secrets, not I.
C. she with whom you share your secrets, not me.
D. she with whom you share your secrets, not I.
E. her with who you share your secrets, not me.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

This is Objective sentence, so me is correct not I....Use I in subjective sentence. Same goes for her and she....Her is correct and not she. Whom is correct not who

A. her with whom you share your secrets, not me
her and me, both are in objective case

B. her with whom you share your secrets, not I.
her and I are not in same case

C. she with whom you share your secrets, not me.
she and me are not in same case

D. she with whom you share your secrets, not I.
she and I, both are in subjective case but we need objective case

E. her with who you share your secrets, not me.
her and me, both are in objective case but who is in subjective case
IMO A.
Just re-writing this sentence in active language.
You share your secrets with her, not (with) me.
Writing this sentence in passive voice becomes,
It ought to be her with whom you share your secrets, not me

Too basic Q, but I liked the way thephoenix showed how to decode it.
I am on a break !!
