How do you use the word whom correctly in a sentice?
'Whom' is an objective interrogative and relative pronoun. It is the objective form of the subjective 'who'. Use it where it is the object of the verb to which it relates. Examples: "To whom was that letter sent?" "Who sent that letter?" "For whom was that piece of music written?" "Who wrote that piece of music?" "Whom are you meeting this evening?" "Who is meeting you this evening?" "Please give this book to the person whom you are meeting this evening." "Please give this book to the person who is meeting you this evening." "She decided to give the book to the person whom she was expecting to meet that evening." "She decided to give the book to the person whom she was expecting to meet her that evening." "She decided to give the book to the person who she was expecting would meet her that evening." Make sure you identify the right verb when you are deciding whether to use 'who' or 'whom' as the relative pronoun. If you are in doubt, turn the relative clause into a question and check whether the answer would be a subject or an object (simplest way of doing this: ask yourself if the answer would be 'he' or 'him'). Hence, in the last trio of examples above: 1. [Who/whom] was she expecting to meet that evening? She was expecting to meet [him]. The verb is 'meet' and the relative pronoun is 'whom'. 2. [Who/whom] was she expecting to meet her that evening? She was expecting [him] to meet her. The verb is 'expect' and the relative pronoun is 'whom'. 3. [Who/whom] was she expecting would meet her that evening? She was expecting [he] would meet her. The verb is 'meet' and the relative pronoun is 'who'. In the last example the temptation is to use 'whom', by analogy with the two preceding examples and also, perhaps, because of a mistaken belief that 'whom' is a more formal or 'posher' alternative to 'who'. However, if you analyse your sentences carefully and ask yourself the right questions (and answer them correctly), you will not fall into that trap.
Can whom be used as a plural form of who?
The pronoun 'whom' can function as a direct object, but it is often difficult to recognize because 'whom' does not actually follow the verb.Example: You will work with foreman whom you will meet later.The subordinate clause is whom you will meet later. It is easier to see that the pronoun 'whom' is the direct object of the verb 'will meet' if you mentally restructure the clause: you will meet whom later.Example: The foreman whom I was assigned to was very supportive.Whom is the object of the preposition to (to whom I was assigned). In this sentence, the the word 'whom' is not essential: The foreman I was assigned to was very supportive.The pronoun 'whom' is more commonly the object of a preposition:To whom do I give my completed application? (interrogative pronoun)The person to whom you give the application is the manager. (relative pronoun)
