Who or Whom
#1 With whom do you think I met?
#2 Who do you think I met?
# 3 Who do you think I met with?
#4 Whom do you think I met?
Which version is correct?
I read a rule that we use "who" when this refer to subject and "whom" when refer to object. for me, #4 is correct. But not sure if any other also correct.
#1 To whom are you talking?
#2 Who are you talking to?
Is there any rule if we use "who" then use preposition at the end or at beginning in case of "whom".
Thank you
