Help needed. When to use \"Who\" and \"Whom\"...thanks

Hi SoWow,

An easy way to remember is this:

- Who: used as the subject of a sentence

subject: the person doing the action. Eg: She (subject) is
hitting him

- Whom: used as the object of a sentence

object: the person receiving the action. Eg: She is
hitting him (object)

Examples of 'whom' and 'who':

QN 1) Whom are you going to vote for?

Ans: I am going to vote for Mary(object).

In the question, you were asking about the object, hence
'whom' should be used.

QN 2) Who is the class monitor?

Ans: Michael (subject) is the class monitor.

In the question, you were asking about the subject, hence
'who' should be used.

'Whom' and 'who' are also used to connect 2 sentences
together. So when should 'who' be used and when should
'whom' be used?

An easy way to remember is this:

- Whom: it appears after the object. (and it is usually
sandwiched between 2 different people)

- Who: it appears after the subject. (it is usually
followed by a verb)

Eg:

1) This is the girl (object) whom I saw just now.

2) This is the girl (subject) who fell down just now.
