Which are correct:

1) I had a chance to talk to Paul Newman, meeting whom was always delightful.
2) I talked to an actor meeting whom was always delightful.

3) I had a chance to talk to Paul Newman, the meeting of whom was always delightful.
4) I talked to an actor the meeting of whom was always delightful.

As far as I know, these sentences can be written as:

"I had a chance to talk to Paul Newman, whose meetings were always delightful."

Whose is a possessive relative pronoun and "whose meetings were always delightful" is a relative clause modifying Paul Newman.


I cannot relate to any of the syntaxes that I know of for all four sentences, even though "I had a chance to talk to Paul Newman, the meeting of whom was always delightful" looks familiar.

Maybe Audiendus, Dragonspeaker, and Thar can shed some light on this.

I look forward to their replies.

Thanks
