[Tip] "who" vs "whom"




* Use
"who" as an interrogative pronoun and in place of the subject of a question. It can also be used in statements, in place of the subject of a clause.

* Also use "whom" as an interrogative pronoun, but it is used in place of the object of a question. Therefore, "whom" can be used in statements, in place of the object of a clause.

Examples

( 1 )

Who are you?

Is this who told you?

Jack is the one who wants to go.

Anyone who knows the truth should tell us.


( 2 )

Whom is this story about?

With whom are you going?

This is the man whom I told you about.

John is the man whom you met at dinner last week.
