Who vs. Whom Pronoun Agreement Getting it Right!!

The She/He-Him/Her Method 1. Replace the Who or Whom in a sentence with she or her and see if it’s grammatically correct. Choose Who if the personal pronoun is in the subjective case: I, we, he, she, it, they Choose Whom if the personal pronoun is in the objective case: me, us, him, her, them *Note: whoever and whomever follow suit

Examples Who/Whom wrote the letter? Replace who with she: She wrote the letter Replace whom with her: Her wrote the letter. The correct pronoun is Who. She works in the sentence.

More Examples of Who vs. Whom: For who/whom should I vote? Should I vote for him/her? Should I vote for he/she? So, we know that whom is correct. Remember: whom is replaced with him or her.

And….more…. Try another: Who/Whom would be the best candidate? She would be the best candidate. Her would be the best candidate. Therefore, Who is the answer.

Try some more: We all know who/whom pulled the prank. Try it out: She pulled the prank. Her pulled the prank Therefore, who is the answer. I asked who/whom they plan to send to the new island. What is the answer?

Again, plug in she and her: Answer: I asked whom they plan to send to the new island. Turn the sentence around: They plan to send her to the new island. Or, they plan to send she to the new island. So, her corresponds with whom. They are not sure who/whom will be making the trip. What is the answer?

Keep going! They are not sure who/whom will be making the trip. Again, reconstruct the sentence: Her will be making the trip. She will be making the trip. Therefore, the sentence reads: They are not sure who will be making the trip.

And, more……. Who/Whom do you think has the best ideas for learning grammar? Turn the sentence around: You think…..has the best ideas for learning grammar. You think he/him has the best ideas for learning grammar. You think he has the best ideas….(correct)

Fill in the blanks with either who or whom: 1.She is the girl_____was employed here. 2. He is the man_____we employed last year. 3. Of______were you speaking? 4. _______do you think will do the work best?

Fill in the blanks, cont. 5. I will vote for________you suggest. 6._____shall I ask about this matter? 7. Give the information to___requests it. 8. Tonight, we shall find out____won. 9. She was speaking to the man____I met last week. 10. She is the girl_____we hired.
