Common errors in English: Usage of Relative pronoun after superlative degree Whom and which.

 Relative Pronoun after Superlative Degree


Incorrect : She is the best singer whom I have ever seen. 


Correct : She is the best singer (that) I have ever seen.


Incorrect . This is the best book which he has ever written. 


Correct : This is the best book (that) he has ever written. 


Note: The relative pronouns who, whom and which cannot be used after the superlative degree. You can use the relative pronoun that after a superlative. But in most cases this relative pronoun is omitted.
