"Who" vs. "Whom" ask yourself whether the answer would be "he" vs. "him." -Mignon Fogarty
Who connects to the subject (normally a person or character) and whom connects to the object. One of the reasons I love grammar girl however, she gives you quick tips on how to remember it. The quote up top? Remember it. The "who" connects to the "he" and the "whom" to "him." Pair m with m. M&M! Another thing to remember, is the subject is not always male, so remember the female counterparts "she" and "her" as well.
