Hello
Which one of the two sentences seems to be more correct than the other one?
1. The man whom you saw him with me yesterday is my brother ,or I omit the pronoun him
2 . The man whom you saw with me yesterday is my brother
Thank you for any answer

Hello,

2 . The man whom you saw with me yesterday is my brother is the correct sentence.

In the first one, the pronoun "him" is a mere parasite!

The second sentence is the correct one; however, it would be more natural to omit "whom" as well:

The man you saw with me yesterday is my brother.

Thank you Sarra and Traviskidd
yes it's natural to omit "whom" and it's natural also to let it since it's a relative pronoun that refers to "a man"which is an object here
--->you saw the man
The man is my brother
The man whom you saw is my brother
