    Default What shall we use "who or whom"?

    From whom did she ask for the price of the swimming class?
    or from who?

    "Whom." It's functioning as an object in that sentence, not a subject.

    "Whom" is not used very much by native speakers, it is being replaced by "who" in common use.
