I will try h: to explain when you should use "who" and when should you use "whom" in a sentence.

There is a simple trick to knowing the difference between who and whom.

All you have to do is answer your question or restate the sentence using "he" or "him".


he/she/they = who/whoever
him/her/them = whom/whomever

Who created this thread?
he created this thread.

Whom is this thread for?
Its for him.

(common error: "who's this thread for" or "who is this thread for?" )


note: sometimes people confuse it with "Whose"... jjust make sure your question can be answered with "his" (or her/our)

Whose this thread for? :nono:
its for them. <<<<<<<<<< wrong!

Whose thread is this?
its his. :yay:

many people dont really care about using Whom and Whose since they dont flow well in conversation.. but w/e this is your grammar lesson for the day.
