“Who” and whoever” are subjective pronouns; “whom” and “whomever” are in the objective case. As simple and important as that distinction is, many people have difficulty deciding on the proper usage of “who” and “whom” in sentences. \n    The two sentences below illustrate the easy usage in which “who” is clearly the subject and “whom”clearly the object. In such simple cases, virtually everyone can determine the proper choice: \n\n    Who is that masked man? (subject) \n\n    The men, four of whom are ill, were indicted for fraud. (object) \n\nThree “easy-to-use” rules\nso you'll always get it correct\n\n      Rule #1: Substitute “he/him” or “she/her”: If it's either “he” or “she,” then it's who; if it's “him” or “her,” then it's whom.\n\n     Rule #2: Every verb with a tense in a sentence must have a subject. And that word is always in the nominative case, so it's "who." For example: In this sentence, “I decided to vote for whoever called me first”:\n      • “I” is the subject of “decided”\n      • “he” (whoever) is the subject of the verb “called.”\n\n      In the sentence, “Give it to whoever deserves it”:\n      • The implied “you” is the subject of “give”\n      • "he" (whoever) is the subject of the verb “deserves.”\n      This rule supersedes the first rule as it relates to who” and “whom.”\n\n      Note: Related to this rule is one that says: The subject of a phrase is always attached to that phrase -- no matter what. For example:\n             Ask whoever reads that book to answer the question.\n\n     Break down the sentence thusly:\n     (You) ask him (he reads that book) to answer the question.\n\n     In the phrase “he reads that book,” you cannot separate the subject “he” from the phrase to which it is attached.\n\n     If you remember these two rules -- substitute “he/him” or “she/her,” and that every verb with a tense must have a subject -- you should solve the "who/whom" quandary every time.\n\n     If you apply those two rules and you're still not sure, apply the all-important Rule #3.\n\n     Rule #3: If it takes more than a 30 seconds to figure it out, pick the one that sounds best to the ear (read it aloud) and move on. Why? Because even grammarians are likely to squabble over which to use. But always -- always -- apply rules #1 and #2 first.

Here's the easy way to tell.  Instead of "who" and "whom" try substituting "he" and "him" into the same sentence.  If "he" works better, than you want "who" if "him" works better, then you want "whom".\n\nFor example, let's say you're trying to figure out whether it's "To who am I speaking" or "To whom am I speaking".  Would you say (this is a little Yoda-like but that's okay) "To he am I speaking" or "To him am I speaking"?  The second sounds more correct, so it would be "To whom am I speaking?"

Why ~wouldn't~ they?\n\nIf I say, "I am going to the store to buy apples," that is first person. \n\nIf I say, "Mary said there is a sale on apples at the store," that is third person, and a perfectly reasonable way to speak.

What's the antonym of you? As far as I know, pronouns don't have antonyms, but the closest antonym to thou (2nd person singular nominative) would be I (1sr person singular nominative).

Just to add my two cents...\n\nDon't get too caught up on when to use "who" or "whom"...especially in informal speech.  There is always an appropriate time and place for such "niceties"…”With whom do you think you are messing”…it just doesn’t have the same punch, does it?…but I digress, and it is important to know the rules before you break them…\n\nThe guidance others give about trying to substitute “he” for “who” and “him” for “whom” (or “she” for “who” and “her” for “whom”—my lame attempt at not being sexist!) is a good way to go.  I always ask myself, “WHO is doing what to WHOM?”  \n\nThere are sometimes when it gets down right confusing, so in these circumstances, I would suggest stripping the sentence down to its most basic parts (subject, verb, object) and (especially when the problem sentence is a question) switch the order of the words; e.g., “WHO/WHOM are you going to invite to the party?” could be switched to “YOU are going to invite WHO/WHOM to the party,” which when using the she/who/him/whom rule becomes “You are going to invite HER to the party?”  So in this example, the correct sentence would be, “Whom are you going to invite to the party?”\n\nAnd since we are on rules, I would just add the while the objective-case pronoun “whom” is used as an object…it is not typically used as a direct object as stated above, but as an indirect object…but again, I digress…\n\n_____\n\n"Whom" does NOT always follow a preposition:  "You are giving whom a present?" or  "You are giving away whom?"

"We" is the nominative case of the first-person plural pronoun in English.\nSomeone can use it when the speakers, or the speaker and at least one other person do something. \nIt is subject p. ex.: We go to school\n\n"We" can be inclusive or exclusive.\nSome languages have a distinction in grammatical person between inclusive "we" (which includes the person being spoken to in the group that is included in we, p. ex.:\nWe can all go to the school today). \nand exclusive "we" (which excludes the person being spoken to, p.ex.: We mean to stop your  plans) \nEnglish doesn't have this distinction in its grammar. \nSomeone also can refer to a generic third person by we instead you. \n\n"Us" is the oblique case form of the English language pronoun "we".\nSomeone can use it when "Me" and at least one other person do something, the objective case of "we".\nYou give it to us (us is object)\n\nAbout your frase\nThe person helps us, boys."US" is object the word "boys"\nrefers to "us"\nHope I help

"Who" is used when it is the subject of the clause in which it appears.  "Whom" is the object of a verb or preposition.  Try to substitute another pronoun in its place and see how the sentence sounds.  If "he" or "she" or "we" or "they" sounds correct then use "who".  If "him" or "her" or "us" or "them" sounds correct, then use "whom".  \n\nYou would say "He is going to the movie", not "Him is going to the movie, so you say "Who is going to the movie?", not "Whom is going to the movie?"\n\nYou say "These books are for us", not "These books are for we", so you should say "For whom are these books?", not "For who are these books?"\n\n"She is the winner" is right; "Her is the winner" is wrong. Therefore say "Susan, who is the winner, is sitting over there.", not "Susan, whom is the winner, is sitting over there."\n\n"Give them the money" is right.  "Give they the money" is wrong.\n"Give whom the money?" is right.  "Give who the money?" is wrong.

So are you the deer or the headlights, since obviously you aren't human?\n\nDumb? the word "your" and the contraction "you're" are not interchangable.

There is not any instance in which (d) could be the correct answer because (d) is grammatically incorrect. The "many things" must be referred to in a plural noun to make the response balance. You wouldn't say "What are it?" because you are referring to more than one thing. The (c) answer, "What are they? clearly asks of all the things he has in is box, What things are in the box?

The first answer is correct all the way. I only wanted to add that the propper way to do M.D. in each form is M.D.'s (singular posessive), M.D.s (plural) and M.D.s' (plural possesive).\n\nA good way to remember this is that in singular possesive, the ' (apostraphe) goes BEFORE the s.  \n\nIn the plural form, there is no apostraphe.\n\nIn the plural possesive, the apostraphe goes AFTER the s!\n\nHave fun!
