Bo Diddley

1. (Who/Whom) did you go to the game with? Whom



2. She’s the student (who/whom) writes the best articles. Who



3. (Who/Whom) did you vote for? Whom


4. (Who/Whom) failed the quiz? Who



5. We know (who/whom) pulled that prank. who



6. We want to know of (who/whom) the prank was pulled. who


Tips

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).
