Whom is properly used whenever the pronoun is the object of a verb or a preposition.
The only times many people use the word whom is when they are asking a question about somebody else. For example, " Whom are you refering to?"
you use who as the subject and whom as the object.
"Who" is used as the subject of a sentence, while "whom" is used as the object. Use "who" when referring to the subject of a sentence (e.g., "Who is going to the party?"), and "whom" when referring to the object (e.g., "To whom did you give the gift?").
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."
'Whom' is used as the object of a sentence, typically following a preposition or a verb. Use 'whom' when referring to the object of a verb or a preposition, while 'who' is used as the subject. For example, you would say "To whom did you give the book?" because 'whom' is the object of the preposition 'to.'
Whom is used when the question you are asking refers to the direct object of a sentence. It is often helpful to think of what the answer is. If the answer will be the direct object, whom is needed. If the answer is the subject of the sentence, who is needed. Ex. Who is going to the party? Bob is going to the party. (Bob is the subject of the sentence.) Ex. Whom are you taking with to the party? I am taking Joe to the party. (I is now the subject of the sentence, and Joe is the direct object.)

You can use both who and whom you trust. Who can be used as a subject and an object of a clause, but not object of a preposition. Whom can only be used as an object. She is the one who is always there for me. (not whom because who is the subject of is) _She is the only one who (_or whom) I trust. (object of trust) She is the one on whom (not who) I can rely . (object of the preposition on)
No, the correct interrogative pronoun is "who", the subjective form:"Who do you know?"The pronoun "whom" is the objective form, used as the object of a preposition:"To whom do I send the letter?""For whom are you making a cake?""With whom are you going to the movie?"
