People live in English-speaking countries use “whom” in daily life?
The word is difficult for me to understand😫

We do use it, but a lot of English speakers don’t or don’t know how. It’s important to understand in places, like formal letters or homework.

In my class, we learned when to use it and other verb agreements. Even though I know the difference, it makes me feel like a snob to use “whom” when talking so I never use it.

Basically, if you can replace it with “him,” you use “whom.” If you can replace it with “he,” you use “who.”
