Printable grammar worksheet for practicing the correct use of "who" and "whom" in sentences.

You're right — this worksheet is about choosing between “who” and “whom”, two relative pronouns that are often confused.

---

🔑 Quick Grammar Rule:

- Use “who” when the person is the subject of the clause (doing the action).
- Use “whom” when the person is the object of the clause (receiving the action).

A helpful trick:
👉 Replace the word with “he” or “him”.
→ If “he” fits, use who.
→ If “him” fits, use whom.

Is the person *receiving* the action or following a preposition (like to, for, about)? → whom

You got this! 😊
