Cool Breeze:
As a relative pronoun, whom can be a grammatical object in a relative clause while the 'to' in to whom occurs because something else requires it. Examples:
fatimah0786I heard we don't use 'that' for people.In some contexts, such as CB's example sentence, you can use that for people.
fatimah0786I heard we don't use 'that' for people.That is the oldest relative pronoun in English and it was used to refer to people for about 400 years before who as a relative existed. It is, of course, only possible in defining / restrictive relative clauses.
