Whom

[Tdol]

I use it in formal writing and speech.

 

[Casiopea]

I use it in formal speech and writing, both, as well as when speaking to someone who I think expects to hear it , like TOEFL students and colleagues who adhere to prescriptivist traditions

 

[Tdol]

I drop it in if I think the other person expects it as well. ;-)

Does it matter if use "who" instead of "whom" in every single place where "whom" can be used or should be used... .while speaking....



thank you..!

 

[rj1948]

Nowadays WHO is used instead of WHOM.

 

[Soup]

I've stopped using whom.

Hi,

Every language has differents levels of use. Each occasion requires a different level.

The words, and the speech patterns we use while talking with friends at the pub are not the same we use while sitting for a job interview.

Job interview: formal
Pub drinking: informal/slang

I always read it & use it everywhere

because my teachers prevent us from using any informal word :-(

[ayachi]

I use it in formal writing and speech.

Generally speaking , I use when it is followed by a preposition whether in spoken or written English. Thanks indeed:up:

 

[ayachi]

thanks very much for the efforts you 've been making to achieve a perfect English.

 

[MR SOLIMAN]

yes like you ...

I myself avoid using whom in either formal or informal situations except when it comes after a preposition.

 

[wise owl]

I use it more in writing, less in speech. It is true that now more people use "who" instead of "whom".

Hi!

I use whom whenever it is necessary and required. In my country, English language exams are taken seriously and we are supposed to use this pronoun correctly ; we always have to know and demonstrate the difference between who and whom.

 

[forumtest]

its only after prepositions

 

[Eden Darien]

I used to use whom whenever it's possible in communication. But I don't think that if you use who instead of whom it means you are using slang. Am I right?
Because nowadays people kept chasing time, so they want to speak economically and quickly by any means.

If you are a non-native speaker, it's better to keep using whom instead of who, or else we might get confused... Just my opinion though ;-)

 

[The French]

I use it in formal writing and speech.

Hello, I'm 'The French,

I prefer use the word 'that' it's more easy.

What is the difference between which and whom?

Thank.:?:
