Problems: 'whom' and 'who'
Please give me some examples of them and explains each one as clarify. Thanks.

Whom is possible instead of who (for people) when it is the object of the verb in the relative clause. But it's not normally used in spoken English. Ex: The boy who is playing football is my brother.
- Whom is possible instead of who (for people) when it is the object of the verb in the relative clause.
- But it's not normally used in spoken English.
- Ex: The boy who is playing football is my brother.
- The boy who / whom I wanted to see is my friend.
- In the 1st case you can't have whom instead of who because it is the subject of is playing, while in the 2nd example it is the object, the subject is I, so you can put whom.

No, I don't think you're not very good at explaining things. Because, I understood your way of examples which provide in that paragraph as clearly. However, thank you very much.
