The pronoun 'whom' can function as a direct object, but it is often difficult to recognize because 'whom' does not actually follow the verb.

Example: You will work with foreman whom you will meet later.

  • The subordinate clause is whom you will meet later. It is easier to see that the pronoun 'whom' is the direct object of the verb 'will meet' if you mentally restructure the clause: you will meet whom later.

Example: The foreman whom I was assigned to was very supportive.

  • Whom is the object of the preposition to (to whom I was assigned). In this sentence, the the word 'whom' is not essential: The foreman I was assigned to was very supportive.

The pronoun 'whom' is more commonly the object of a preposition:

To whom do I give my completed application? (interrogative pronoun)

The person to whom you give the application is the manager. (relative pronoun)

No. Who and whom are the same pronoun .

  • Who is used as a subject. Example. The boy who livednext door has moved. (subject of the relative clause)
  • Whom is used as an object. Ex: The boy for whom the party was given lives next door. (object of the preposition 'for')
