Grammar Point whom
whom
- Whom is not used very often in spoken English. Who is usually used as the object pronoun, especially in questions:
  Who did you invite to the party?你邀请了哪些人来参加聚会？
- The use of whom as the pronoun after prepositions is very formal:
  To whom should I address the letter?这封信我该写给谁呢？
  He asked me with whom I had discussed it.他问我和谁讨论过此事。
  In spoken English it is much more natural to use who and put the preposition at the end of the sentence:
  Who should I address the letter to?这封信我该写给谁呢？
  He asked me who I had discussed it with.他问我和谁讨论过此事。
- In defining relative clauses the object pronoun whom is not often used. You can either use who or that, or leave out the pronoun completely:
  The family (who/that/whom) I met at the airport were very kind.我在机场遇见的这家人非常友好。
- In non-defining relative clauses who or, more formally, whom (but not that) is used and the pronoun cannot be left out:
  Our doctor, who/whom we all liked very much, retired last week.我们的医生上周退休了，我们都很爱戴他。
  This pattern is not used very much in spoken English.
