When should I use whom instead of who?
Formal:
When who is the object of a verb, use whom:
Whom did you see downtown?
When who is the object of a preposition, use whom:
To whom did you send the invitations?
Informal:
When who is the object of a verb, use who:
Who did you see downtown?
When who is the object of a preposition placed at the end, use who:
Who did you send the invitation to?
Both formal and informal:
When who is the object of a preposition, use whom:
To whom am I speaking?
He is someone for whom I have great respect.
To whom have you been talking?
