How do you know when to use the word who or whom?
  

Top answer

Who is subject case. Whom is object case. The usage of whom is declining, so many times when whom used to be used, we use who instead.

  • Who is subject case.
  • Whom is object case.
  • The usage of whom is declining, so many times when whom used to be used, we use who instead.
  • Whom did you give the gift to?
  • (grammatically correct as the indirect object, but in modern speech, who would be frequently heard) The girl whom you invited to the party did not come.
