NOTES:

In writing  and formal speaking, you can also use Whom as the object of the verb and prepositions.

*For example:

1-Whom did the journalist criticize ?

2-Whom is the principal talking to ?

* But you cannot use WHOM as the subject of a verb.

So you cannot say:

1-Whom come to the party last night ?

*You have to say:

1-Who came to the party last night ?

*Who can be used as the subject and the object of a verb.

1- For example:

*Subject:

1- Who broke the window ?

*Object:

1-Who are you inviting to your party ?

*Who can be used as the object of a preposition.

For example:

1- Who is mom talking to ?

*You can also use whom as the object of a preposition:

For example:

1-Whom is mom talking to ?

*If you put the preposition before the interrogative pronoun, you must use whom.

For example:

To whom is mom talking ?
