帮我看看这句英文对不对.定语从句
There's a few people to whom the dictionary is useful.
二楼说的对,people虽是集合名词但表复数概念,谓语动词应该为复数。
但我觉得to放在前面和后面都可以,比如
Mr Jones,for whom I was working ,was very generous about overtime payments.
Mr Johnes,whom I was working for,was very generous about overtime payments.
另外to whom 在定语从句中作什么成分?

我来补答
There are a few people to whom the dictionary is useful.或者There are a few people the dictionary is useful to.
to whom 在定语从句中是状语成分.
一般情况下类似于to这样的介词可以放在定语从句中,也可以放在定语从句句首,就像这句话.但是主要有两种特殊情况:一是,当先行词(就是which,who,whom这种引导定语从句的词)是that的时候,介词一定不能放句首,一定要放在定语从句里面;二是,当某些介词是和动词连用的,是与动词连在一起的动词短语的时候,介词不能与动词分开,也就是不能放到句首,比如look after(例句:The patient whom the nurses have to look after is not well.就不能写成The patient after whom the nurses have to look is not well.)
