Question

when the good time to use whom?

Answer 1

Both who and whom are pronouns. Distinguishing the two from each other with certainty can be an arduous task, but there are tricks to get you started. "who" is used as the subject of a sentence or phrase, to denote who is doing something (like he or she). On the other hand, "whom" is used as the object of a verb, to denote who has something done to it (like him or her). While a preposition (at, by, for, in, with, etc.) often comes before "whom", this is not always the case, so the key question is to ask "who is doing what to whom". Another way is to use the him/he test. Ask yourself if the answer to the question would be he or him. If you can answer the question with him, then use whom. It's easy to remember because they both end with "m". If you can answer the question with he, then use who. "To [who or whom] did the prize go?" is, "It went to him." (It is improper to say "It went to he.") The correct pronoun for the question is whom. "[Who or Whom] went to the store?" is, "He went to the store." (It is improper to say "Him went to the store.") The correct pronoun for the question who. Hope this helps to whomever it may concern.
