Should I use who or whom?

Question

"I sit here everyday at the end of the table next to people ''who'' I have to converse with."

or

"I sit here everyday at the end of the table next to people ''whom'' I have to converse with.

Answer 1

First of all, you should never end a sentence with a preposition. :-)

It would be "with whom" I have to converse.

Answer 2

"I sit here everyday at the end of the table next to people with whom I have to converse.

"With" is a preposition. "Whom" is the object of the preposition. When in doubt, mentally substitute "he" for "who" and "him" for "whom". You would not say "with he", so neither would you say "with who". (And, you should not end a sentence with a preposition either.)

Answer 3

acutally it should be:

"Everyday I sit at the end of the table next to people with whom I have to converse with.

You need the "with" before you can use the whom.

Answer 4

Whom--object of the preposition with. [Sir Winston Churchill was once corrected for ending a sentence with a preoposition--he is supposed to have said, "This is something up with which I will not put!]

Answer 5

whom.
but it really should read - "next to people with whom i have to converse".

Answer 6

whom

Answer 7

whom

Answer 8

whom
