Don't use "went" for "when"

 

[Wanescotting]

To whom are you speaking?

 

[mugs]

who = subject
whom = object

Just always say whom. You'll sound super uber smart and people will want to jump your bones for it.

i don't know grammatical rules, i just know what sounds right. however, it seems that when forming a passive sentence you use 'whom'. example:

Whose car is this?
Who owns this car?

vs.

To whom does this car belong?

who = subject, "who owns that POS riced up rig?"

versus whom = indirect object

"to whom should you hand in your man card?" :laugh:

Use "who" when it is the subject of its own clause. Use "whom" when it is in any other place in the sentence, like after a preposition or if it's a direct object.

A good way to figure out whether you should use "who" or "whom," is to replace the who/whom pronoun with he/him or she/her. Whichever one sounds correct is very likely to be the right one, and the rules for these pronouns is the same.
