The pronoun 'whom' is used for the object of a verb or a preposition.
The corresponding subject pronoun is 'who'.
The pronouns 'who' and 'whom' are interrogative pronouns and relative pronouns.

An interrogative pronoun introduces a question. Examples:
Subjective: Who gave you the book?
Objective: To whom will you give the book? (object of the preposition 'to')

A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause (a group of words with a subject and a verb that gives information about its antecedent). Examples:
Subjective: The one who gave the party was my neighbor.
Objective: The one from whom I received the invitation was my neighbor. (object of the preposition 'from')
Using it in a sentence is just how you would say "who". it's just a fancier way of saying "Who"

- Whom is this girl/boy you speak of?

- and this is whom, again?

- Whom?

I really hope this helps you!!!

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.
