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).
