Leslie Anthony, Would you say I met whom? That was the phrase after attorney, which was a direct object in that sentence. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Linda DuBois Champagne, I thought the correct word would be whom, because attorney is the direct object. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

David Lee, I think number is used here as a collective noun, so a plural verb is necessary. A number of them are eating together. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

John Bach-Hansen, Someone could lay a book on the table. The person lay on the couch when he could not climb the stairs to bed. Lay is for inanimate objects or past tense. Lie is the present tense. I lie on the bed quietly before rising for the day. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

Your first question has a GLARING error either way. She is better at it than HE, not HIM! You have to remember in effect the sentence is saying, "She is better at it than he (is).
