English is so hard to learn that even native speakers argue over whether it's "who" or "whom"—and then just avoid the sentence altogether by saying, "That guy!"
23 u/EnigmaFrug0817 1d ago “Who” and “Whom” isn’t actually that hard It’s related to the answer to the question. “Who is there?” -> “He is there!” “Whom do you want to go for lunch with?” -> “I want to go to lunch with him!” 11 u/Ok_Builder_4225 18h ago Gonna be honest, I just use "who" for both and be done with it. "Whom" sounds archaic, even if technically correct.

It’s related to the answer to the question.
“Who is there?” -> “He is there!”
“Whom do you want to go for lunch with?” -> “I want to go to lunch with him!”
