Does anyone know the difference between a subject and an object in a sentence?

Question

Cause in my school, very few people do. Does anyone know when you should use "whom" instead of "who" when asking a question about a person?

I'm not looking for people to tell me what is the difference; I know. I just want to see how many people know, because I know a ridiculous amount of people don't, and I've never heard anyone use whom.

It's Receive.

Answer 1

The subject is what's doing the action and the object is what's recieving the action, for example:
I am feeding the dog
I would be the subject, because I am doing the action (feeding). The dog would be the object because it is recieving the action.
This relates to the "who"/"whom", because "who" would be used as a subject, and "whom" as an object, as is shown through the examples in the earlier answer.

Answer 2

The subject is the person or thing doing the acting (whatever the verb is), and the object is the person or thing being acted upon, towards, away from, and so on. Example: What makes nests? What is the subject (it is who makes nests). Nests is the object. Another example: I love what loves me back. I is the subject (I am the one who does the loving), and what loves me back is the object (the one loved).

Answer 3

Well... your question is kind of vague. But an example of the difference would be "Who asked the question?" or "To whom did you ask the question?"

Answer 4

I'm just going to guide you with the "who" and "whom" problem.
Just remember this simple rule, use "who" when you're referring to "he" or "she" or "they"...
For example, Q: WHO is the man in the green hood? A: The man in the green hood is Oliver Queen. (notice in this case, you call Oliver Queen a "he" so the question must use "who" instead of "whom")

Now, for using "whom", is when you're referring to "him" or "her" or "them" ...
For example, Q: WHOM are you talking to? Are you talking to yourself?? A: No, I am not talking to myself but I am talking to them standing over there. (notice in this case, you said that you are talking to "them". so use "whom" for "them" or "him" or "her" as appropriate)
