Obviously, it's both--but it's a frequent question, Kaitlyn, and that's how we get found.

The short answer is that "whom" is an object pronoun whereas "who" is a subject.
But on the SAT, ACT, Regents, and CHSPE (among other tests), the multiple-choice often requires that a student identify the proper choice. Once more, the simple test is to replace the whom/who with the more familiar he/him pronouns to do a test drive.
For example, I would say: "My brother, whom I love, is always late." In reworking the modifying clause "whom I love" into a statement, I would correctly say: "I love him." "Him" like "whom" is the object form.
If you said "I love he" it would sound ridiculous.

Is this a question or an answer?
whom- object
who- subject
This means you use who to describe the person about to complete an action
"who is going to visit me to today"
You will use whom to describe the person who is about to receive the action
To whom do you plan to give the money.
hope this helps.

When you see the dreams you'll have at my age, you won't tout being able to help people chase them--that's sardonic humor, of course.07/27/22
