frozen15 · Answer

Its actually false 
"whom is describing the person or object but not the verb "whom is the direct object cause its talking about who" :) medal plz

anonymous · Answer

Not quite. It is actually true. "Whom" is always an object, as opposed to "Who," which is always a subject. A subject is the noun doing the verb whereas an object is a noun have the verb done to it, or it is, in fact, the object of the verb. Here's an example of "whom" being used properly: Mike fired whom?

but its not the object of the verb ,its more of describing a/the person in the sentence or object 
like 
whom took you to school?
Mom took you to school?

anonymous · Answer

"Whom took you to school" is wrong. It should be "Who took you to school?" because "Who" is a subject and "Me" is an object. You wouldn't say "Me took you to school."

I don't think you do. I have a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's Degree in Communication Arts Education and I've taught High School English for 5 years. Trust me, I know when to use Who and Whom.

I would never think someone was stupid for not knowing the correct usage of "whom" or not knowing intricacies of English grammar. You're definitely not stupid, so please don't think I'm implying that. I noted my degrees not to say I'm smarter than anyone, but only to point out that I have spent a lot of time studying grammar. I don't know everything and I make mistakes and I know lots of people that are smarter than me. I do know a fair amount about grammar because I studied it and I teach it. I think this is a more convincing claim of expertise than "I know what I'm talking about lol." I don't want to fight either, but I want those reading this thread to know how to use "whom." Maybe you'll believe the Purdue website: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/645/01/ "However, "whom" may not be omitted if preceded by a preposition because the relative pronoun FUNCTIONS AS THE OBJECT of the preposition" (caps mine). Also, please note in the reference table near the top that "whom" is only listed in the object category. And now look at this breakdown of pronouns: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/595/02/ For more on the differing functions of subjects vs. objects, read this (scroll down to "Pronouns"): https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/730/1/ I'm happy to talk more about this. It's complicated but interesting.
