WHO OR
WHOM?
who or
whom?
The
grammatical distinction
is
that
'who'
is a
subject
pronoun
and
'whom'
is an
object pronoun.
(i)
Use
this method
to
double-check whether
you
need
a
subject
pronoun
or an

object pronoun
when
who/whom
begins
a
question:
Ask
yourself
the
question
and
anticipate
the
answer.
If
this could
be one of the
subject
pronouns
(I, he,
she,
we or
they), then
you
need
'who'
at the
beginning
of the
question:

Who/whom
is
there?
The
answer
could
be: / am
there.
WHO is
there?
If
the
answer could
be one of the
object
pronouns (me, him, her,
us or
them), then
you
need
'whom'
at the
beginning
of the
question:
Who/whom
did you
meet when
you
went

to
London?
The
answer could
be: I met
him.
WHOM
did you
meet?
(ii)
Use
this method
if
who/whom comes
in the
middle
of a
sentence:
Break
the
sentence into
two
sentences
and see
whether
a
subject
pronoun
(I, he,
she,

we,
they)
is
needed
in the
second sentence
or an
object
pronoun (me, him, her,
us,
them).

help you.
