What are the grammatical rules for using words whom and who?

Use the he/him method to decide which word is correct. he = who him = whom Examples: Who/Whom wrote the letter? He wrote the letter. Therefore, "who" is correct. For who/whom should I vote? Should I vote for him? Therefore, "whom" is correct. We all know who/whom pulled that prank. This sentence contains two clauses: We all know and who/whom pulled that prank. We are interested in the second clause because it contains the who/whom. He pulled that prank. Therefore, "who" is correct.

Is it correct to say who is this for instead of for whom is this for?

Technically the phrase "Whom is this for" is the grammatically correct version of this statement, but in modernized English there are a fair amount of people who don't know the difference between "who," and "whom." So in a casual situation, or when talking informally, the phrase "Who is this for" is acceptable--enough, but not only do you sound more intelligent when you use the word "whom" correctly, but also it's the correct way of using the language. Simply, it is not technically correct, but in a casual situation, it is acceptable.

Is it correct to say family who or family whom?

This depends on the context. The word 'which' applies to the object of a sentence. If starting a sentence, it is generally more proper to use "A family that" instead. Examples: A family that prays together stays together. I would like a family which eats meals together.


What is the correct usage of whom?

Simply put, "who" is a subject, while "whom" is an object. A subject does an action, while an object recieves an action. In the sentence "The dog catches the frisbee", the dog is the subject, because it is doing the catching. The frisbee is the object because it is being caught. To tell which one you should use, try replacing it with "he" or "him". If it makes more sense as "he", who is the correct word. If "him" makes more sense, whom is the correct pronoun.
