How your doing? When to use "who" versus "whom"? Unsure of the distinction, I thought it best to seek your guidance as a teacher.

Hello!

The difference is actually rather easy! The commonly repeated advice for remembering whether to use who or whom is this: If you can replace the word with he or she or another subject pronoun, use who. If you can replace it with him or her (or another object pronoun), use whom. One way to remember this trick is that both him and whom end with the letter m.

I hope this helps!
