<p>WHO VS WHOM: When do you use each one of these?</p>
<p>Who is a subject pronoun, and whom is an object pronoun. Whom would never be used as the subject of a verb, while who is used that way.</p>
<p>Correct usage examples:</p>
<p>Who is that wearing the clown suit?
To whom did you lend your car?</p>
<p>In the first sentence, who is the subject, and in the second sentence, whom is your direct object. </p>
<p>So sparknotes help huh?? Maybe I will be a copy</p>
<p>Who vs whom is on the ACT? At the conference last year, they told us that they were not using that distinction as there is substantial disagreement about it.</p>
<p>I don't know. I took an REAL ACT practice test and they had that for one question.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That's interesting. I had no idea there was ever even a dispute about who vs. whom. Either way, I've also seen who vs. whom on the ACT--maybe only once that I can remember, but it was definitely on there.</p>

In the first sentence, who is the subject, and in the second sentence, whom is your direct object.

<p>Just to be picky.... "whom" in your example is the object of the preposition "to."</p>
<p>My mistake, thanks for the correction.</p>
<p>Most people don't use "whom" that much, so try out "him" or "her" to see if you should use the object pronoun.</p>
<p>Example: I punched (John) in the nose.
You could replace John with "him" but not "he": "I punched he in the nose." just doesn't sound right.</p>
