Use "whom" correct in a sentence.
"Whom" is used as the object of a verb or preposition, typically referring to people. It answers the question "to whom," "for whom," or "with whom" something is done. For example, in the sentence "The person whom you met yesterday is my friend," "whom" is the object of the verb "met." A quick way to decide whether to use "whom" instead of "who" is to see if you can replace it with "him" or "her." If it fits, "whom" is usually correct; if "he" or "she" fits, "who" is more appropriate.
