Use 'whom' when you can use 'him'. Though, you may have to rearrange the sentence for it to make sense. " It seems to work.

Use 'whom' when you can use 'him'.
Though, you may have to rearrange the sentence for it to make sense.
E.g.:
"Are you referring to him?"
"To whom are you referring?"
"He is coming?"
"Who is coming?" (not whom)
"Am I addressing him?"
"Whom am I adressing?"
It seems to work.

That's quite a practical suggestion: Use ' whom' when you can use 'him' or 'her'.
