I can never figure out whether I should use who and whom. Most people use who for both colloquially, but some people say this is not correct.  What’s the rule for using who and whom correctly?

I have some doubts about the usages of That and Who. Sometimes I read sentences such as. "You are someone I love" "You are someone WHO I love" Or "People were asked to describe the qualities they look for in a friend" "People were asked to describe the qualities THAT they look for in a friend"  Why in some of these sentences WHO or THAT are omitted and others are not. Could somebody help me with this? I'll appreciate it! Thanks a million.

Can anyone tell me where we have to use "has" and where we have to use "have"? I am confused.  Can anyone explain me in a simple way?

has a "who to follow" button on the upper side of the screen. Shouldn't it be "whom to follow"?   suggests that whom is the correct usage in a case like this.

I am very uncertain about when to use "most of whom," "most of who," or "most of which."  Please give concrete examples instead of only rules like, "this is the subject, so you should..."

I always thought persons was wrong.But recently, I came across this word "persons" in some book. Is it correct? If it is, when would you use persons and when would you use people?

Can you please clarify the relation and differences between these nouns?   For example, is it proper to use "persons" instead of "people"? Are they the same? As I believe that "people" is plural, how come there exists the plural of the plural (=peoples)? Does it have any usage?

I know similar questions have been asked before, but I'm having trouble reconciling the following sentence, received in an email:     Can we ask whomever is your contact there to email us a job so we can check backward compatibility?   I could understand using objective case if the sentence were "can we ask (him) to email...", but I get tripped up considering "whomever" to be the subject of "(he) is your contact there".

I have come across the phrases like "to which","for which", "by which", "on which" and so on(using a preposition with a relative pronoun).   e.g. The chair on which the body was found..  Could someone please explain if there's a particular rule to be followed when building/using them?   Can I use any preposition before 'which'?  What if I say "The chair which the body was found on"? How would I decide which preposition to be put? Can I use other relative pronouns too?  Thanks in advance.

When I was , I stumbled upon the phrase “Who be ye?”. But why is it “Who be ye?” and not “Who are ye?”? The modern equivalent of “ye” would be “you”, wouldn’t it? “Who be you?” would be considered incorrect, whilst “Who are you?” would be perfectly fine.

When reading about  on the OALD, I saw the following note:     The difference between someone and anyone is the same as the difference between  and . Look at the notes there.   The note that I read for some is the following:     In negative sentences and questions any is usually used instead of some:           I don't want any more vegetables.     Is there any wine left?           However, some is used in questions that expect a positive reply:           Would you like some milk in your coffee?     Didn't you borrow some books of mine?      Does that apply to someone too? Should I use someone in a question when I am expecting a positive answer?      Does someone know the answer?

What's the difference between , , and ?  Even if their ODO definitions suggest they are interchangeable most of the time, are there fine differences in meaning between them?

I have read answers to questions like  but I couldn't find a general rule for using "you" or "yourself", "him" or "himself" that could explain things I see in some examples.  For example, I think that one normally say (according to examples I see in ):   You bring something with you. You have something in you. You have something on you. You pressed her to you.   But on the other hand one would say:   You draw attention to yourself. He killed himself. You can try it out for yourself.   As a general rule, it seems that the reflexive pronoun is used when the object is the same as the subject of the verb. But for prepositional phrases, it seems more complicated. Do some prepositions (like "with", "in", "on") always come with the accusative form of the pronoun, and some other (like "for") don't? What about "to", that seems to be followed by both in different circumstances?
