I suggest you go to the search field and type who whom and take a look at the results already on this site. In a nutshell, if it's the subject (that is, you would you HE), then use who. If it's the object (that is, you would use HIM), then use whom.

  • In practice, whom isn't used very much in spoken English, although it does show up in formal writing.
