The answer to "what" must be a noun or a pronoun that refers to things. It could be the subject or direct object of the sentence. Ex. What ingredient is needed for the cookies? Sugar is needed. (Subject.) What is he buying? He is buying a car. (direct object.) For whom, the answer is going to be a person or people, and it will be the direct object of the sentence. (The answer for who would be the subject.) Ex. Whom are you taking to the dance? (Notice how you is the subject.) I am taking Bruno. (Bruno is the direct object of the sentence. (For who-- Who is taking Bruno to the dance? Bruno is still the direct object. I am taking Bruno. I is the subject.)
