Struggling with 'who' versus 'whom'? You're not alone! This grammatical gremlin trips up even seasoned writers. Here's the secret: 'Who' is used when the word is the subject of a sentence or clause, while 'whom' is used when it's an object.
Think of it this way: if you can replace the word with 'he' or 'she,' use 'who.' If you can replace it with 'him' or 'her,' use 'whom.'
For example: 'Who is going to the party?' (He is going). 'To whom did you give the gift?' (You gave the gift to him).
Another trick? Rephrase the sentence! Sometimes a simple rearrangement makes the correct pronoun obvious. While 'whom' sounds formal (and is becoming less common in casual conversation), using it correctly shows attention to detail. So, practice these tips and banish 'who/whom' confusion for good!
