Who,+Whom,+Whoever,+and+Whomever

=﻿Who, Whom, Whoever, and Whomever=

Isn't it all the same?
Noooooo. Who doesn't equal whom. When i say "I love you" You are the subject of my affection and my sentence. This is the same with who. Its all about 'who'. When i say "You love me" it is the same as using whom. Its like this "Who loves you?" and "Whom loves you?". Here is a trick you can use: if you can answer the question being asked with //him//, then use //whom.// If you use he, then use who. (call me)

What about whoever and whomever?
Yes, the best for last. Ok kids, pull out a sheet of paper and a pen or pencel becuase are gonna do some math. Here is our first function: him + he = whoever. The way we use this is we break up the sentence from its main cluase into 2 differnet sentences using him and he. If they fit correctly then you use whover to combine them. Now here is an "equation":


 * Hand it to (whoever/whomever) requests it on Monday. Now insert the function into the equation to get the answer: Hand it to him. He requests it on Monday=Hand it to whoever requests it on Monday.

Now the function for whomever: him + him=whomever. You basicly do the same thing with the whoever function.


 * Here is a equation: The Yankees will fire (whoever/whomever) Mr. Steinbrenner recommends= The Yankees will fire him. Mr. Steinbrenner recommends him=The Yankees will fire whomever Mr. Steinbrenner recommends. Get it now?
