There is more than one part of a sentence that can answer those questions.

The subject is who or what the sentence is about. It acts, is acted upon, or is described.

An "object" noun in a sentence can be the recipient of an action. A direct object receives the action (what or whom), while an indirect object is one to whomor for whom the action is done.

The question refers to sentence structure, where the direct object is the thing or person that follows a transitive verb. It is what is done, or whom or what is acted upon.

Example : Bill hit the ball. (ball was hit and so is the direct object)

Example : Bill hit Bob with the ball. (Bob was hit and is the direct object)

(The equivalent term for a linking verb is the subject complement.)

---

The words "who" and "whom" relate only to persons, while "what" and "that" refer to other objects or actions.

Examples : "The person who came in was whom?" "What was the tree that we saw?"

(Extended to animals, as with gender pronouns, if seeking a given name.)

"Who was your first dog?" (but is more properly, "what was your first dog's name?")
What is this question about and whom wrote it. Very good indeed.

A word that answers what or whom when, asked after the verb, is a direct object. An indirect object or an object of a preposition answers what or whom. A direct object, indirect object, and object of a preposition are nouns or pronouns.

A noun that follows a verb can be the direct or the indirect object of the verb.

Examples:

"To whom should I give the completed application?" "Give your application to the manager." The noun "manager" answers the question and is the indirect object of the verb "give" (the object of the preposition "to").

"What is for lunch?" "We're having Sandwiches." The noun "sandwiches" is the answer to the question and the direct object of the verb "having".

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."
