What is the difference between whomever and whoever?
"Whoever" is in the subjective case, meaning it refers to or takes the place of the subject in the sentence. For example, the following sentence is correct: Whoever ate my pie is going to be sorry! "Whoever" refers to the subject of the sentence. On the other hand, "whomever" is considered in the objective case, meaning it often represent the object of a verb, infinitive, etc. For example, the following sentence is correct: I will give a prize to whomever can guess the correct answer. Here, "whomever" is acting as the object of the infinitive "to". When deciding which to use, you can often substitute "he" or "she" for "whoever" and "him" or "her" for "whomever". For example, you can answer the first sentence by saying "He ate my pie." You would not say "Him ate my pie." The second sentence, you would say "I will give a prize to him." Not "I will give a prize to he." Play around with the concept for a while until you get it!

Which is the correct grammar you talk to whomever was inside or whoever was inside?
Whomever is correct. Would you say "You talk to she..." or "You talk to her". "Whoever" matches the subject of a sentence. Whomever matches the predicate (ending) of a sentence. Read it with the changes that were made. Which sounds better. - The answer above is above is not right. The question is a thorny one, because while "whomever" is correct as the object of the preposition "to," it CANNOT be be the subject of the finite verb "was." If we did not have the -ever part, we would say "Talk to him or her who is inside," with the object and subject pronouns properly sorted out. Since "whomever was inside " is utterly barbarous ( we don't say "him was inside" for example) I would say "Talk to whomever you like," but "Talk to whoever was inside."
