Gramatical issue: When is it appropriate to use "whoever" and when should I use "whomever"? References please

WHOEVER acts like the subject of the sentence, that's why it is used BEFORE a verb, as in "WHOEVER calls, I'm not in". WHOMEVER acts like the object, ie, the receiver of the action, and so it goes AFTER the verb, as in "You can ask WHOMEVER you want. However, the use of the latter is being lost due to its lack of usage, especially among youths.

If you ask yourself the question to who does the sea beckon and the answer would be to him then it should be whom. If instead the answer contained he then it would be who.\n\nExample: To those who the sea beckons.....the sea beckons to him (not he) so it should be whom.

Yeah, it is correct to say "one" or "a person". It's so much easier just to say "you" tho. I always find myself tripping up on that. I think most people use "you" the wrong way.

Who is for use when there is no subject of a sentence, and whom is for when there is one.  My pneumonic device:\n"No subject, no m."\nHope this'll help you.

To is not necessary in fact it is confusing.\nWhom is almost never heard commonly. It is correct usage in some situations, but it is archaic in common usage.\nSo while "Whom did you as the way to the station?" might be correct, it would not be commonly used. More than likely you would hear none of theabove, as all of the sentences are awkward in sound. "Who did you ask for directions to the station?" is more likely what you will hear.\nIn speech and informal writing, people tend to use who, even as the object of a verb or preposition. A sentence such as Who did John say he was going to support? is perfectly natural, despite violating the traditional rules. Using whom often sounds forced or pretentiously correct, as in Whom shall I say is calling? or Whom did you give it to? Nevertheless, many writers adhere to the rules, especially in formal style. These rules apply in the same manner to whoever and whomever." The American Heritage® Book of English Usage

You can, of course, use the "one" - or even the imperial "we" - if you so choose; however, both sound stilted and condescending.  Even the grammatically correct answer to "Who is it?" - "It is I." - sounds stilted.  I suggest you read the very funny, somewhat new grammar book: EATS,SHOOTS,AND LEAVES; the answers to most current grammar/syntax questions can be found within.\n\nBest of luck,\n-MomBear

An easy way of establishing it is to see what the sentence would sound like without one or two words in it.  So if you would say 'I went to the game', then 'Doug and I went to the game' would be the correct thing to say.\n\nIf you would say - 'The score at the game affected me deeply as my team lost', it would then be OK to say 'The score at the game affected Doug and me deeply, as our team lost!'\n\nSo if you leave the 'Doug and' bit out of the sentence, then the context will tell you which one you should use.  That also goes if you are using either Doug and I or Doug and me as the answer to a question.  'Who broke the window?' 'Doug and I [did]' - the word 'did' being implied.  However, it's very hard to find a context in which 'Doug and me' would be used.  'Who would like to go to the game?' is usually answered by shouts of 'Me! Me!' when really it should be 'I! I!' as 'I would' is implied, and you wouldn't say 'me would'!  So on a stand alone basis 99.9999999999999999% (recurring) of the time, 'Doug and I' is probably the right answer.

after me.\nor before?

Well...it actually is debatable, but I'd go with "was" to be on the safe side...\n\nWith either/or (neither/nor) things that contain subjects that take different verb forms, there is no definitive agreement on which form the verb should take.\n\nA majority, however, says that you should follow the subject that is closest to the verb, in this case " I ", so, since:\n\nI WAS asking for refills --> Neither you nor I was asking for refills.\n\nA minority say that the verb should always be singular in these cases, and an even smaller minority say that either verb form is acceptable.\n\nSo your best bet to avoid the ire of an anal-retentive English teacher (or professor, editor, yourself, etc.) is to go with the "closest to the verb" rule, in this case WAS.

Options 1 and 3 are grammatically correct.  One does not need to use the perfect tense in this case, but if one does, they should use the third person plural for that particular example, as the subject of "to happen" is "events", not "one".

The correct way to say it is, "I will contact you or Sammy Lenette on Thursday."  There is a grammatical rule behind that, and it is that the word "yourself"  (or himself, or herself, or myself, or yourselves, or ourselves) cannot be used on its own as the subject/object of a sentence.  It is an extra word, called a reflexive pronoun, that is used to describe the existing subject/object.\n\nIf you had a sentence that read, "You should know the answer to this question," the word "you" is your subject.  You could not use the word "yourself" as the subject on its own, but you could use it to describe your subject (mostly used to add emphasis)  Therefore, "You yourself should know the answer to this question."

It is incorrect. It should read, "Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact Joe Blow or me."\n\nOne way to determine this is to remove one of the two persons you are referring to. In this instance you are referring to yourself and Joe Blow. Take out Joe blow and you get, "Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact myself."\n\nThat doesn't make any sense. Replace 'myself' with 'me' and you have a sentence that makes sense. Now put Joe in front of you and you have a complete, grammatically correct sentence.

Literally: To whom it matters\nIn more common English: Who cares? (I assume you're referring to the Thalia song?)\n\nI suppose it could also be "To whom it may concern", but I have not seen it used this way.

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?"

these are all definitely right...\n\n1.  "you" -- objective pronoun\n\n2.  "he"  -- subjective pronoun\n\n3.  "her"  -- objective pronoun\n\n4.  "she"  -- subjective pronoun\n\n5.  "it"  -- objective pronoun

Basically, you can start by ignoring (temporarily) the "John" and "you" parts, since they don't change when you change cases.\n\nThe pronoun "I" is nominative case.  It should be used in places where the nominative case is appropriate; these include subjects of sentences and subject complements.  So, these are appropriate uses:\n—"I can see my house from here."\n—"The winner of the contest was I."\n—"Bill can sing better than I."\nThese work just as well when you put the "you" or "John" in as well:\n—"You and I can see our houses from here."\n—"John and I can see our houses from here."\n—"The winners of the contest were you and I."\n—"The winners of the contest were John and I."\n—"Bill can sing better than you and I."\n—"Bill can sing better than John and I."\n\nThe pronoun "me" is in the objective case.  It should be used in places where the objective case is appropriate; these include direct and indirect objects of verbs, as well as objects of prepositions.\n—"The dog bit me."\n—"Sue gave me the cake."\n—"It's great knowing that girls are always talking about me."\nThese work just as well when you put the "you" or "John" in as well:\n—"The dog bit you and me."\n—"The dog bit John and me."\n—"Sue gave you and me the cake."\n—"Sue gave John and me the cake."\n—"It's great knowing that girls are always talking about you and me."\n—"It's great knowing that girls are always talking about John and me."
