Who/Whom

Who: Subject of the clause

 

Whom: Object of the clause

 

I hired him for the internship.

 

Subject: I

Object: him

 

 

Trick: Try substituting “him” or “he” into the sentence. If him (object) sounds right, you’ll know to use whom. If he (subject) sounds right, you’ll know to use who. (Works the same for her/she).
