My cousin, who is two years younger, always copies me.

Serena is impatient to grow up, but she still acts immature.

Using Who and Whom People admired an athlete who

could somersault without hurting himself.

The underlined pronoun who acts as the subject of a dependent clause (who could somersault without hurting himself) in this complex sentence.

Using Who and Whom People sometimes confuse the

pronouns who and whom when they write. Who is a subject form. It is used as a subject of a sentence or clause.

Using Who and Whom Who made this mess? (Who is

the subject of the sentence.) I saw a performer who could

do four back flips. (Who is the subject in the dependent clause who could do four back flips.)

Using Who and Whom Whom is an object form. It is

used as the object of a preposition or as a direct object.

To whom did you send a letter? (whom is the object of the preposition to)

Whom will you ask? (whom is a direct object)

Using Who and Whom The subject (you) does not

come first in a question. Don’t be fooled if the subject does not come first.

Using Who and Whom To understand why Whom is

used in the second sentence, change the word order so that the subject comes first: (Whom will you ask? becomes You will ask whom?) This makes it easier to see that whom is the direct object.

Using Who and WhomHow is the underlined word used: subject, object of preposition, or direct object?

In a question that uses who or whom, change the word order so that the subject comes first. Then see if the pronoun is used as a subject or an object.

Using Who and Whom Test Tip: Whom is rarely used in

speaking, so we have trouble deciding when it sounds correct. When you find who or whom in a subordinate clause, make the clause into a separate sentence. Then change who or whom into a personal pronoun such as she or her. If she sounds correct, use who. If her sounds correct, use whom.

Using Who and Whom

No: You spoke with she. Yes: You spoke with her. Yes: You spoke with whom?
