Trying to figure out whether to use who or whom may sometimes be a bit confusing. The only time I've used whom was to say: To whom it may concern. Are there other times when whom is correct over who? An easy way to decide which is correct is to use the he/him method. If the sencetnce sounds better saying he then use who, if him is more appropriate whom is correct. Just remember:
He=who
Him=whom
Who/Whom wrote the letter?
He wrote the letter. OR Him wrote the letter.
Obviously, He wrote the letter is correct. Therefore, Who is the correct term. By knowing this easy method, you can now eliminate some confusion when writing. Look at this website for more examples.
