Sat Writing - Who Vs Whom

<p>can someone please explain to me when to use WHOM and WHO</p>

<p>The way I was taught in junior high:
If the question can be answered with "he" or "she", use who.
If the answer is "him" or "her", use whom</p>

<p>___ is going to the store? He is going, so use WHO.
___ are you going to the store with? I am going with him, so WHOM</p>

<p>how would you apply that to "Angela was curious about the unopened letter on the table and wondered for whom it was meant" (btw, this sentence has no errors).</p>

<p>The letter was meant for him, not for "he", so use whom.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>No errors except for using passive voice.</p>

<p>if you are familiar with the concept of subjects and objects, it should be relatively easy. </p>

<p>He is going
Who is going</p>

<p>"Who is he going with" would be incorrect, and should be "With whom is he going" </p>

<p>Prepositional phrases would also use whom, since prepositional phrases never have subjects in them, only objects. Ex. to whom, from whom, for whom, etc.</p>
