: I, who ___ your son, is going to do this for you.

: 請問 動詞是 am還是is呢?
: 如果以I =who的觀念來解 是否選am
: 如果以who是子句的主詞來看是否選is
: 麻煩各位大大開釋 謝謝
以下分兩部份,第一部份是用法書的解說,第二部份是論壇意見
Part I.
Practical English Usage, 3rd ed., by Michael Swan
section 498.12
agreement of person
Most relative clauses have third-person reference;
I who ...,
you who ... and
we who ... are unusual, though they sometimes
occur in formal style.
[Irrelevant Examples]
A different kind of first- and second-person reference is commom
in the relative clauses of cleft sentences. However, the verb is
usually
thrid-person, especially in an
informal style.
It's me that's responsible for the organisation.
(
More formal: It is
I who am responsible...)
---------
section 131.2
It is I who ...;
It is me who ...
When an emphasised subject is a pronoun, there are
two possibilities.
- It is
I who am responsible. (
formal)
It is
me that's/who's responsible. (
informal)
To avoid being either too formal or too informal in this case, we
could say, for example,
I'm the person/the one who's responsible.

Ronbee (母語人士,論壇的Moderator之一) 認為這種說法 (It is I who...) 很
不自然

引述相關部份,其他請自己看
Taking
I am tired as the base sentence, the four cleft versions which
are possible are:
It is I who am tired. (Nominative, number, person)
It is I who is tired. (Nominative, number)
It is me who am tired. (Objective, number, person)
It is me who is tired. (Objective, number)
[...]
My understanding, right or wrong, is that
the most formal and academic
usage requires the
It is I who am pattern, i.e., nominative case and
both number and person agreement.
Some people argue that
I who is is fine. I don't think anyone argues
in favor of
me who am. My impression is that, informally in conversation,
me who is might be used.
[...]
Where I live,
hardly anybody uses the forms shown above very much.
We
prefer to express the same meaning with the following paradigm:
I'm the one who's tired.
You're the one who's tired.
He's/She's the one who's tired.
We're the ones who are tired.
You're the ones who are tired.
They're the ones who are tired.

提問者問 It is I who was/is ...
Mister Micawber 並沒有說這樣子寫是大錯特錯

CalifJim: "It is I who am ..." is the more conservative form,
"...I who is ..." being more modern.
