Grammar question: double quotation

[Pavanhotscan]

Hi Avant,

(the situation) : my friend went to the movie yesterday evening . then i asked him "With whom you went to the movie ?"

is the sentence in the double quotation correct ?

if you find any mistakes in the above sentences( current line also) , could you find out the errors and correct the sentences

Regards
Pavan

Hi,

Two points: after a preposition it would be correct to change 'who' to 'whom' as in 'to whom' 'by whom' and so on. The verb 'you went' in a question form would have to be: did you go?.

Having said that, I have to point out that the sentence: With whom did you go to the movie? sounds very formal and in conversational English I recommend: Who did you go to the movie with?
