Definition
Use "whom" instead of "who" when you want to say 'him' or 'her', especially if it follows a verb or preposition like 'to', 'for', or 'with'. Think about the sentence: ask yourself, 'He/She did what TO whom?' If the person is receiving the action or being acted upon by the subject, use "whom". For example, in "They spoke *to him*", "*him*" is the object, so it should be "Them spoke to *whom*?".
