Learn English – is “through whom” grammatically correct

caserelative-pronouns

It is XY through whom we have established non-standard relations with our partners.

I would like to express that thanks to a particular person we gained our goals. Do you find the form "through whom" OK in that sentence?

Best Answer

"It's XY through whom ..." or "it's through XY that we have ..."

The sentence is correct grammatically. You can also say:

We have established non-standard relations with our partners through XY.

However, the first sentence, which is a cleft sentence with the use of it's, emphasizes the subject XY, and the second sentence is a simple sentence.
