  Who and whom are examples of?

  Who I met or whom I met?

  Who is used as the subject of a sentence or clause. Whom is used as the object of a preposition and as a direct object. In your sentence, the pronoun would refer to the direct object, so to be correct, you should say, “The boy whom I met at the party.”

  Which is the correct way to answer who or whom?

  Again, if you rewrote that question as a statement, “This is for him.” sounds correct. Another easy way to remember is the “m” in him and whom. If you can answer the question with him, you’re using whom correctly. If it doesn’t make sense, it’s probably supposed to be who instead.
