The pronoun 'whom' is an interrogative pronoun and relative pronoun.
The pronoun 'whom' is an objective pronoun, which functions as the object of a verb or a preposition.
The pronoun 'whom' functions as a singular or a plural pronoun.
The corresponding subjective interrogative and relative pronoun is 'who'.

An interrogative pronoun introduces a question.

Example:

To whom do I give my completed application? (object of the preposition 'to')

A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words that includes a verb giving information about its antecedent.

Example: The person to whom you give the application is the manager.

How do you know when to use 'whom' and 'who' correctly?

Assuming you know how to use other pronouns correctly... Use "who" where you would use "he" and "whom" where you would use "him." More formally, "who" is the subjective form (i.e. the one used when it's the subject of a sentence) and "whom" is the objective form (the one used when it's the object of the sentence). "whom" is gradually disappearing in favor of "who" in all cases. Much the same thing happened to "you" a couple of centuries ago... at one time, "you" was the objective form only, with the subjective form being "ye" (to make it even more confusing, "you/ye" was originally plural and/or formal; the singular familiar form was "thee/thou").

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."

Guidelines in using who and whom?

Who and whom are precisely like he and him, or I and me. In formal writing, who is always the subject of a verb and whom is always the object of a verb or a preposition, but in complex sentences these relations may not always be obvious. For example : My friend, whom I know to be true, is here tonight. In this sentence whom is the object of the verb know. But: My friend, who I know is true, is here tonight. In this sentence, who is the subject of is, and the phrase I know is "absolute," that is grammatically outside of the sentence. If you are not sure whether to use who or whom, use who. Even if it is wrong, it is a lesser error than using whom incorrectly would be.

To decide whether to use whom in a sentence see if you can replace it with what?

The pronoun 'whom' takes the place of a noun for a person.The pronoun 'whom' functions as an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun.The pronoun 'whom' functions as an object in a sentence, most commonly as the object of a preposition (to whom, by whom, with whom, etc.)The corresponding subject pronoun is 'who'.


How do you tell when to use whom in a sentence?

The pronoun 'whom' is an objective case, relative pronoun; a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. For example: To whom do I own the money for my sandwich? (whom is object of the preposition 'to') Whom did you see at the mall today? ('you did see whom at the mall', object of the verb 'see') Because the proper use of 'whom' is confusing and when used correctly, sounds awkward, very few people use the word in written text. As a relative pronoun, whom can be replaced by who. eg My daughter Nina, whom (who) you met last year, is getting married tomorrow. Whom is rarely used now because it is too formal, in any sentence who is now preferred over whom.
