For Whom The Bell Tolls

This is a dumb little post, but the Czar cannot but help feel sorry for the word whom. People just do not use it like they used to; and by that we mean that people aren’t using it at all.

A lot of this seems to stem from confusion as to where you use it. And the rule is incredibly simple:

He = she = I = Who

Him = Her = Me = Whom

That’s it. Wherever you would use him, her, or me in a sentence, you can use whom. Give this to him/Give this to whom. Did you see her there?/Whom did you see there? He spoke to me./To whom did he speak? That sort of thing.

All right, off you go. Feel free to try it out.
