Whom

A word that is extinct in the English language. Since it is extinct, I will provide examples of how to use it.

The easiest way to remember the difference between who and whom is by knowing the difference between he/him; I/me; they/them; him/her.

This is called the “m” rule. If you say something like “From who did you get that?” then it is incorrect. You wouldn’t say “You got that from he.” It wouldn’t sound right. Now, let’s take a look at an example with the word “whom” used incorrectly. “Whom passed?” she asked. It wouldn’t make sense to say “him passed,” so the correct word to use the is “who.”

Whom = “From whom did you get that book?”
Who = “Who gave you that book?”
