When do you use whom or who in a sentence?
you use who as the subject and whom as the object.
How do you use the word 'whom' in a sentence?
For whom the bell tolls.
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 use whom in a sentence?
"To whom was it that i wrote that letter to?" You can only really write in a sentence that is really a question, i think.
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.
Who and whom what one would i use in this sentence will you contact at headquarters?
The answer is whom. If you can replace it with he or she it's who, if it's him or her it's whom.
Whom did you laugh at?
The correct interrogative pronoun is 'who' as the subject of the sentence. The interrogative pronoun 'whom' is the objective form. To use the objective form, the sentence should read:At whom did you laugh? (the pronoun 'whom' is the object of the preposition 'at')To use the pronoun 'who' as the subject:Who did you laugh at?
To decide whether to use whom in a sentence see if you can replace it with what?
The pronoun 'whom' takes the place of a noun for a person.The pronoun 'whom' functions as an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun.The pronoun 'whom' functions as an object in a sentence, most commonly as the object of a preposition (to whom, by whom, with whom, etc.)The corresponding subject pronoun is 'who'.
Is this correct 'whom is displayed in the'?
Since "whom" is the subject of the sentence, it should be "who" not "whom."And you need some sort of noun after "the."For example:Who is displayed in the window?If you want an example of how to use the word "whom," we need to change the sentence around:Whom did they display in the window?In this example, the subject is "they" and the object is "whom." So "whom" and not "who" should be used.
How to use word entrust in a sentence?
Those who use the internet need to be certain of those whom they entrust with information.
Guidelines in using who and whom?
Use "who" when referring to the subject of a sentence, and "whom" when referring to the object of a verb or preposition. A simple tip is to replace "who" with "he/she" and "whom" with "him/her" to determine which one to use. Practice will help you become more comfortable with using "who" and "whom" correctly.
Is 'Whom has whom now' correct?
Not Entirely. The initial "whom" in this sentence is the subject of the sentence. When you are using the word "who" or "whom" you've got to pay attention to what the "who" is acting as. When "who" is referring to the subject, you leave off the -m, on "whom," but when you are talking about the direct object of the sentence, then "whom" is perfectly acceptable.So Grammatically speaking "Who has whom now" would be the correct form of this sentence.-------------------------------------------------Whom is used as the object of the sentence and whoas the subject (the one performing the action), therefore "Who has whom now."
