I never understood when it's "whom". I just say "who".
>>
>>217683209

most native speakers just say who also but in formal writing one should use whom. its when the answer is an object of the sentence i think.

the way i remember is that if the answer could be him/her, then you use whom.

for whom the bell tolls -> it tolls for him
who tolled the bell? -> he did.

That, ironically, filters the EFL.

>>217683209
whom is for the accusative case and >>217683614 is right about the him rule of thumb
>>
>>217681940
I always see "lead" being used as past-tense instead of led by EFLs.
>>
>>217683209
Idk if you guys have the dative case or are similar to us there, but it's the Wen Wem difference if that tells ya anything

I'm the king of ESLs and nothing filters me
>>
>>217683209
I think "whom" is the equivalent of "wem" in German which is dative. It could/should be used more often but since even the native speakers don't know how to use it they avoid it (and to not sound like a posh faggot). "Whom should I give this package to?" "To him.".

I have no respect for the english language. I make some mistakes on purpose
