Who or Whom?

Who: Subject of the clause

Whom: Object of the clause

I hired him for the internship.

Subject: I

Object: him

Trick: Try substituting “him” or “he” into the sentence. If him (object) sounds right, you’ll know to use whom. If he (subject) sounds right, you’ll know to use who. (Works the same for her/she).

1. Whom did you go to the game with?



2. She’s the student who writes the best articles.



3. Whom did you vote for?



4. We know who pulled that prank.



5. We want to know on whom the prank was pulled.
