How do you know when to use 'whom' and 'who' correctly?
Use "who" when referring to the subject of a sentence and "whom" when referring to the object. To test which one to use, try replacing "who" with "he" or "she" and "whom" with "him" or "her." If the sentence still makes sense, then you are using the correct form.
How do you know whether you should use 'who' or 'whom' in a sentence?
Use "who" when referring to the subject of a sentence and "whom" when referring to the object. For example, "Who is going to the party?" (subject) and "To whom did you give the book?" (object). If you can rephrase the sentence with "he" or "she," use "who"; if you can rephrase it with "him" or "her," use "whom."

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.
