The pronoun 'whom' is an interrogative pronoun and relative pronoun.
The pronoun 'whom' is an objective pronoun, which functions as the object of a verb or a preposition.
The pronoun 'whom' functions as a singular or a plural pronoun.
The corresponding subjective interrogative and relative pronoun is 'who'.
An interrogative pronoun introduces a question.
Example:
To whom do I give my completed application? (object of the preposition 'to')
A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words that includes a verb giving information about its antecedent.
Example: The person to whom you give the application is the manager.

How do you know when to use 'whom' and 'who' correctly?
Assuming you know how to use other pronouns correctly... Use "who" where you would use "he" and "whom" where you would use "him." More formally, "who" is the subjective form (i.e. the one used when it's the subject of a sentence) and "whom" is the objective form (the one used when it's the object of the sentence). "whom" is gradually disappearing in favor of "who" in all cases. Much the same thing happened to "you" a couple of centuries ago... at one time, "you" was the objective form only, with the subjective form being "ye" (to make it even more confusing, "you/ye" was originally plural and/or formal; the singular familiar form was "thee/thou").
How do you know whether you should use 'who' or 'whom' in a sentence?
The basic rule is this: Use the pronoun "who" when it is the subject of a clause and use "whom" when it is the object of a clause.Probably 90% of the places where you need to use "whom" are prepositional phrases. It's always "to whom", "from whom", "on whom", "with whom", "over whom", "of whom", since "whom" is the object of the preposition.If you are using the pronoun as the subject of the sentence, use "who". It's always, "Who is", "Who went", "Who did", "Who came", "Who left",Here's a trick to help remember: It's the same as the difference between "he" and "him". If a reply to your sentence would use "he", then your sentence should use "who"; if a reply to your sentence would use "him", then your sentence should use "whom". (Remember that "whom" and "him" both end with 'm'.) For example,"Who made this mess?" "He made this mess.""Who drove the car?" "He drove the car.""To whom did you give the keys?" "I gave them to him.""From whom did you hear that rumor?" "I heard it from him."Here's a tricky one--the subject is "you" and the object is "whom", but they're turned around:"Whom did you hit with a snowball?" "I hit him."

How do you tell when to use whom in a sentence?
The pronoun 'whom' is an objective case, relative pronoun; a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. For example: To whom do I own the money for my sandwich? (whom is object of the preposition 'to') Whom did you see at the mall today? ('you did see whom at the mall', object of the verb 'see') Because the proper use of 'whom' is confusing and when used correctly, sounds awkward, very few people use the word in written text. As a relative pronoun, whom can be replaced by who. eg My daughter Nina, whom (who) you met last year, is getting married tomorrow. Whom is rarely used now because it is too formal, in any sentence who is now preferred over whom.
When do you use the work Whom?
Ok - this is quite an easy one to remember. You use 'who' when the people that you are talking about are the object of your sentence and "whom' when they are the subject of your sentence. If you get confused, you can use a simple trick... If you can put HE or SHE in the place of who/whom, then you should use...WHO. Example: Bill, who was the boss of the company. He was the boss of the company. So, WHO is correct. If the sentence only makes sense with HIM or HER, then use WHOM. Example: John, whom she met at school. If you put HE in this type of sentence it looks silly...She met HE at school. So, it must be....She met HIM at school...so use WHOM.
