you can ask a question about a person for exmaple like who is comming to your party tonight


RIGHT - Who is used when it is the subject of a sentence. "Who will go to the store?" as an example. If it is being used as an object or in a prepositional phrase, the word to use is 'whom' - "You are throwing the ball to whom?" or "Whom are we kidding?"


This can be tricky because in questions the subject or the object can come first. The key is whether the "who[m]" is doing or receiving the intent of the verb. "whom" is being kidded by 'we' but "who" is going somewhere in the examples above.
