The word 'whom' is not a noun.

The pronoun 'whom' is both a relative pronoun and an interrogative pronoun, depending on use.

  • The pronoun 'whom' is an object pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun as the object of a preposition.
  • The relative pronoun 'whom' introduces a relative clause (a group of words with a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence) giving information about its antecedent.
  • The interrogative pronoun 'whom' introduces a question. The antecedent of the interrogative pronoun is normally the noun or pronoun that answers the question.

Examples:

  • The customer for whom the cake was made will pick it up at four. (relative pronoun, introduces the relative clause)
  • To whom should I send the invoice? (interrogative pronoun)
