Who vs Whom Linking Verbs?

Anything before the verb is who or whoever. If you're working with an action verb, anything after the verb is probably whom or whomever. If you're working with a linking verb, anything after the verb is probably who or whoever.

How do you use whom and who?

General rule for who vs whom:
  1. Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.
  2. Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.

Who vs whom in a sentence?

When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with “he”' or “'she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom. Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence. Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.
