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."

Is you will ask to a correct grammar?

The fact that questions aren't allowed to have quotation marks renders some of them a little ambiguous. If your actual question was: Is "you will ask to" proper English grammar? the answer is that it's not a complete sentence, but it is a valid sentence fragment. One example sentence is: "You will ask to go to the restroom." It's a perfectly valid English sentence grammatically speaking (though it's a little weird that you're dictating what the person you're speaking to is going to do in the future). If you meant to include the "a" inside the quotation marks, then it's hard to come up with a sample sentence where that could be valid; "You will ask (someone) to a party" is okay, but without the direct object I can't think of any case where that would be proper grammar.

Which is correct father as well as mother is or are?

The correct word to use here is "is" instead of "are." Although you brought in "mother," the subject of the sentence remains to be the singular word "father." Therefore, the singular word "is" should be used as well.
