WHO or WHOM

I'm having trouble understanding when to use who and whom.

Is this a correct usage of whom?

My husband and I have two children, both of whom were born in the United States.

Your usage of "whom" is correct here. You have to use "whom" when you have a preposition such as "of" or "with" or "to."One way I like to remember of this is if you could replace the word with he/she/they = who. If you could replace the word with him/her/them = whom.

Hi, Anon.
To be "right," the answer would need come capital letters and a period.

Regards, - A.

... both of whom ...
It doesn't look like you're having trouble.

of whom, to whom, in whom, for whom, by whom, with whom, through whom, about whom, without whom, ...

They're all the same. Preposition + whom. Easy
