Who Vs. Whom

<p>I am unsure in exactly when to use Who and Whom, Whoever, Which and Whichever. It says that Who and Whoever are subjective relative pronouns. Whom and Whomever are objective relative pronouns. That, Which, and Whichever are either Subjective or Objective.</p>

<p>Can someone please clarify to me when to use which and what it is trying to say?</p>

<p>Use who when you are referring to a person that is the subject of the sentence.(answer with he or she)
John, who is an athlete, … or Who is an athlete
Use whom to referrer to a person as an object of the sentence. (answer with him or her)
Whom did you enrage? or I don’t know whom I bumped into.
I’m not sure about how exactly to define whoever, which, and whichever though.
If I find out, I’ll post back.</p>

<p>thank you that would be nice!</p>

<p>Is this concept even tested on the sat? I heard somewhere that it isn’t, and have never seen it in my twenty something practice tests. Can anyone confirm?</p>

<p>You likely heard the claim from Erica Meltzer.</p>

<p>Who vs. whom has never been directly tested on any official SAT, but that’s not to say that it can’t be tested in the future. I have personally never seen a who vs. whom question and I have gone through a myriad of tests. Neither has Erica Meltzer, apparently. </p>

<p>It’s relatively simple - who is in the subjective form and whom is in the objective form.</p>
