Sure! Here's a clear explanation of the words "what" and "whom" :

What

  • Meaning: "What" is a question word used to ask about things, objects, or information.
  • Examples:
    • What is your name?
    • What time is it?
    • What do you want to eat?

Whom

  • Meaning: "Whom" is a pronoun used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition, typically referring to people. It is more formal and less commonly used in everyday speech.
  • Examples:
    • Whom did you see at the party? (object of the verb "see")
    • To whom should I address the letter? (object of the preposition "to")

Quick Tip:

  • Use who when referring to the subject of a sentence (the person doing the action).
  • Use whom when referring to the object of a verb or preposition (the person receiving the action).
