Hoping you can help me here.
Whose are those books on table?

To whom is the food to bring?

"whose" is mostly used for people,"whom" is not often used in spoken english, it can be replaced by "who" or "that".In addition, you can use "whom" with prepositions: to whom - with whom - from whom
eg; An orphan is a child whose parents are dead.
The man whom I wanted to talk with is not here.
