Who vs. whom
Hello,
Could you please teach me when to use who vs. whom? I'd be very thankful.
He is one of those who I really admire.
He is one of those whom I really admire.
1. Which of the sentences above is correct?
2. If both are correct, which is common to native speakers?
3. My guess is only the second sentence is correct because "I really admire him" answers "whom I really admire." Would you agree?
