The pronoun 'who' is used as a subject pronoun.
The pronoun 'whom' is used as an object pronoun.
The pronouns 'who' and 'whom' are interrogative pronouns and relative pronouns.
An interrogative pronoun introduces a question.
A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause.
Examples:
Who is your new math teacher? (interrogative pronoun, subject of the sentence)
Mr. Smith who taught science is also teaching math. (relative pronoun, subject of the relative clause)
To whom should I give my completed application? (interrogative pronoun, object of the preposition 'to')
The manager is the one to whom you give the application. (relative pronoun, object of the preposition 'to')
Whom is used as the object of the suntence. Example "Whom did you see at the door?" You is the subject therefore whom is the object. Who is used as the object of the sentence. Example "Who is at the door?" Who is the subject of the sentence.
subject
Grammatically speaking, who is used as the subject of a sentence and whom is the object. e.g. Who are you going to visit? - who is the subject of the sentence
For whom is the party being thrown? - whom is the object
However, a good rule of thumb is that if you can replace who/whom with either "him" or "her," whom should be used. If you can replace it with "he" or "she," who is correct.
e.g. To whom is the parcel addressed? - to him; therefore "whom" is correct
I don't know who is going to dinner. - he is; therefore "who" is correct
This brings up a conflict between common use and proper use in questions such as "Who does this book belong to?" The rule of thumb answer is "to him," meaning that "whom" is technically correct, but is never used, in formal or casual writing. Therefore it is not expected to use "whom" at the beginning of a question.
For the most part the distinction has been lost, and "who" is largely acceptable in all cases. If you want to be a stickler, though, then "whom" should be used when you're referring to the object of the sentence, and "who" when you're referring to the subject. One way to work out which is appropriate is to answer the question or rewrite the sentence using either "he" or "him"; if the sentence works with "he" then you should use "who", and if "him" works then "whom" is the word you're after. "Who did it?" "To whom am I speaking?" "He did it." "I am speaking to him."
You use "whom" when it's the object, and "who" when it's the subject. One way to tell is to try substituting "he" and "him" to see which one sounds right. If the sentence makes sense with "he", you should use "who". If it makes sense with "him", you should use "whom".
Here are some examples:
Who wants Pizza?
"He wants pizza" makes sense, but "Him wants pizza" does not. This helps you know that you should use "who" rather than "whom".
Whom should we notify?
You need to change the word order for the he/him test, but it still works:
"We should notify him" makes sense, but "We should notify he" does not. This indicates that "whom" should be used.
That is the man who robbed me.
This is more complicated, but you can still see that "he robbed me" is correct, and "him robbed me" is not.
That is the man to whom I owe my life.
Changing the word order, you can say "I owe him my life", but not "I owe he my life."
Although it is technically incorrect to use who instead of whom, it is widely practiced in informal speech and often not considered incorrect in casual use. If you are unsure whether to use who or whom, using who is a safer choice. If you use whom incorrectly, some people will think you are trying to sound more educated and knowledgeable than you are.
It becomes appropriate to use the word whom instead of the word who when the the sentence require an objective case. The word who perceives a subject case.
When you say: "For whom the bell tolls."
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.
unfaithfulness?
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.
instead of he uses, say he expresses
It is not grammatically correct to say ' you go to home'. Instead you should leave out the word to, and say 'you, go home'.
Properly we say Whom is this for, and we certainly write it that way, but in informal speech "who" is allowed instead when it is the first word in the sentence.
You put in your address and instead of saying "Dear sir," you would say, "To whom it may concern"
with whom
Juliet
You can say "following" or "subsequent to" instead of "after".
quien
Yes, I can say "mines" instead of "my" if you prefer.
The correct form is "Who did you say was elected?". The pronoun "who" is functioning as the subject of the sentence.The pronoun "who" is the subjective form.The pronoun "whom" is an objective pronoun.
Whom did you say was coming for dinner? Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. The landlord from whom he was renting had suddenly passed away.
¿Con quién?
An American who uses "that" instead of "who" or "whom" for a relative pronoun for a person may be considered to be using non-standard English grammar. This is called a restrictive relative pronoun mistake.
