Students of English often get confused when it comes to the usage of 'who' and 'whom' especially the latter.
'Who' is used to ask the person as a subject in a question. For example, you can say, 'Who is the boy standing there?' When I ask this question, I want to know the name of the boy or his relation with the person I ask. He can say, "He is Albert." or "He is my cousin."
As for 'whom', it is used to ask the object in a question. For instance, you can ask, "Whom did you see just now?" I would like to know the person you saw when I put forward such a question.
'Whom' is also used after a preposition. Here are some examples:
1 To whom did you give my book?
2 From whom did you get this doll?
3 With whom did you play just now?
