The pronoun 'whom' is used as the object of a verb or a preposition.
The pronouns 'who' and 'whom' are interrogative pronouns and relative pronouns.
The pronoun 'that' is a demonstrative pronounand a relative pronoun.
An interrogative pronoun introduces a question. Examples:
Subjective: Who gave you the book?
Objective: To whom will you give the book? (object of the preposition 'to')
A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause (a group of words with a subject and a verb that gives information about its antecedent). Examples:
Subjective: The one who gave the party was my neighbor.
Objective: The one from whom I received an invitation was my neighbor. (object of the preposition 'from')
Subjective: This is the one that I want.
A demonstrative pronoun takes the place of a noun, indicating near or far in place or time. The demonstrative pronouns function as subject or object in a sentence. They are: this, that, these, those.
Example: That is my favorite movie.
Note: The demonstrative pronouns also function as adjectives when placed before a noun to describe that noun.
Example: That movie is my favorite.
What else can I help you with?
How do you know whether you should use 'who' or 'whom' in a sentence?
The basic rule is this: Use the pronoun "who" when it is the subject of a clause and use "whom" when it is the object of a clause.Probably 90% of the places where you need to use "whom" are prepositional phrases. It's always "to whom", "from whom", "on whom", "with whom", "over whom", "of whom", since "whom" is the object of the preposition.If you are using the pronoun as the subject of the sentence, use "who". It's always, "Who is", "Who went", "Who did", "Who came", "Who left",Here's a trick to help remember: It's the same as the difference between "he" and "him". If a reply to your sentence would use "he", then your sentence should use "who"; if a reply to your sentence would use "him", then your sentence should use "whom". (Remember that "whom" and "him" both end with 'm'.) For example,"Who made this mess?" "He made this mess.""Who drove the car?" "He drove the car.""To whom did you give the keys?" "I gave them to him.""From whom did you hear that rumor?" "I heard it from him."Here's a tricky one--the subject is "you" and the object is "whom", but they're turned around:"Whom did you hit with a snowball?" "I hit him."

When do you use the work Whom?
Ok - this is quite an easy one to remember. You use 'who' when the people that you are talking about are the object of your sentence and "whom' when they are the subject of your sentence. If you get confused, you can use a simple trick... If you can put HE or SHE in the place of who/whom, then you should use...WHO. Example: Bill, who was the boss of the company. He was the boss of the company. So, WHO is correct. If the sentence only makes sense with HIM or HER, then use WHOM. Example: John, whom she met at school. If you put HE in this type of sentence it looks silly...She met HE at school. So, it must be....She met HIM at school...so use WHOM.
