English Language & Usage Asked on June 22, 2021
"I would prefer someone who was a bit more sincere about their beliefs."
vs.
"I would prefer someone who’s a bit more sincere about their beliefs."
The second sounds more correct to me, since "someone who…" seems to be a single direct object.
However, when I replace "was" with another verb:
"I would prefer someone who cared about me."
vs.
"I would prefer someone who cares about me."
Both of these sound correct (though I suspect the first is technically correct, and the second perfectly fine in everyday vernacular).
Any thoughts?
