Dear Ponnam,
According to my opinion this is not right but we can say like
May i know i m talking with
who is on the line
who is calling
who is speaking
Poonam just i m giving example on this topic:
we make a call or receive call it means we would like to talk to third person in this sense we use "is"
suppose that person is in front of us then we can say "How are you" here "are" is used for second person.but note that are itself as a third person.
Many time we use like " How is she?
It means is, am , are is the third person.
is, is used for third person
are is used for second person
am is used for self.
don't confuse you can find this things in oxford very easily
May hope it will help you

Poonam, Whether you’re at home or in the workplace, there’s a nice way to find out who’s on the other end. “May I ask who’s calling” sounds much nicer than “who’s this? or who r u calling”

Dear Sir,
To a person visiting this site need not bother about Good English is a debatable quetion. Any person visiting any English language site is supposed to know good English rather than better English, as otherwise such person may misinterpret and assume different meaning.
While this is so one of your readers(who spoke of coaching) used the sentence: 'It is high time we have to........'
In fact the sentence is used in the following format: 'It is time or It is hightime we did something.......'
and not in the former format.

I am English
The correct response is
May I ask who is calling please? ( If you wish to know the name of the caller )
or
Who would you like to speak to? ( If you wish to know who the caller would like to be connected to )
hope this clears thing up

I am amazed that queries such as this get so many responses, where as queries that require HR experts to contribute hardly get such attention.
Even after people have given excellent responses with examples, others keep contributing with similar responses to those already given.
Have a lovely day and please consider contributing to other queries too.

Hi,
Grammatically, 'who' is used when you are denoting the subject/doer of the action. For eg. Who is shouting?, who is crying?, who is talking etc. 'Whom' is used in the nominative/ object form of the verb. For eg. whom are you talking with?, whom are you staring at?, whom are you calling tonight?, etc. The doer of the action in this case is 'YOU'.
Hence, (if I have understood the context correctly), the sentence 'Who are you calling?' is incorrect. It should be 'whom are you calling?'

  • Grammar is one thing and mannerism and courtesy another.
  • Whatever you say or write may be grammatically correct but may still be offending or may sound improper.
  • 'May I know who is speaking please?' may be the right choice.

Dear Shipra,Welcome!No I did not understand any thing wrong in your case.....but in life every one does a mistake, and we learnt from that mistake. We the HR should not de-motivate our own professional - mate. Thanks Krishna Kumar pandey <a href="mailto:hr.k.k.pandey@gmail.com">
