Who vs. Whom
Getting it Right!!
![Page 2: Whovswhom](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082916/54bf14ac4a795924108b45fb/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The She/He-Him/Her Method
• 1. Replace the Who or Whom in a sentence with she or her and see if it’s grammatically correct.
• Choose Who if the personal pronoun is in the subjective case: I, we, he, she, it, they
• Choose Whom if the personal pronoun is in the objective case: me, us, him, her, them
• *Note: whoever and whomever follow suit

Examples
• Who/Whom wrote the letter?
• Replace who with she:
• She wrote the letter
• Replace whom with her:
• Her wrote the letter.
• The correct pronoun is Who.
• She works in the sentence.

More Examples of Who vs. Whom:
• For who/whom should I vote?
• Should I vote for him/her?
• Should I vote for he/she?
So, we know that whom is correct.
• Remember: whom is replaced with him or her.

And….more….
• Try another:
• Who/Whom would be the best candidate?
• She would be the best candidate.
• Her would be the best candidate.
• Therefore, Who is the answer.

Try some more:
• We all know who/whom pulled the prank.• Try it out:• She pulled the prank. • Her pulled the prank• Therefore, who is the answer.• I asked who/whom they plan to send to the
new island. What is the answer?
![Page 7: Whovswhom](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082916/54bf14ac4a795924108b45fb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Again, plug in she and her:
• Answer: I asked whom they plan to send to the new island.
• Turn the sentence around: They plan to send her to the new island. Or, they plan to send she to the new island.
• So, her corresponds with whom.• They are not sure who/whom will be
making the trip. What is the answer?

Keep going!
• They are not sure who/whom will be making the trip.
• Again, reconstruct the sentence:Her will be making the trip.
• She will be making the trip.• Therefore, the sentence reads:• They are not sure who will be making
the trip.

And, more…….
• Who/Whom do you think has the best ideas for learning grammar?
• Turn the sentence around: • You think…..has the best ideas for learning
grammar.• You think he/him has the best ideas for
learning grammar.• You think he has the best ideas….(correct)
