Modifiers

by shubhamjain1012 Wed Apr 27, 2011 6:41 pm

In the Modifiers Strategy Chapter, under Noun Modifiers with Relative Pronouns subheading, it is mentioned that ''..whom is used as the object of the verb or of a preposition." and an example below it is "The security guard whom we met was nice. "

Below the example its written that - "That or whom can be dropped when the modified noun is the object of the modifying clause"

So I understand from this that the modified sentence - "The security guard we met was nice." is also correct.

Please let me know if this is the right interpretation. Thanks in advance.
