Unto whom is your question addressed? To whom does this belong?

Vesna: I have bad news: the proper use of "whom" can be very difficult. I have good news: most native speakers here in the United States do not use it very often. They often use "who" even though the books tell them to use "whom." Almost no one says "WhoM do you live with?" (which takes a lot of strength to pronounce "whom") or "With whoM do you live?" (which sounds too formal and not natural). So everyone just asks, "WHO do you live with?" (which breaks the rule but is natural). ***** NEVERTHELESS, I urge you to learn the rules. If you use those two words correctly in your profession, people will have more respect for you. (Even educated native speakers sometimes find that they have to think for a minute about which one to use in certain sentences!)

Who and whoever are for subjects. Who and whoever also follow and complete the meaning of linking verbs. In grammar speak, who and whoever serve as linking verb complements. Whom and whomever are for objects — all kinds of objects (direct, indirect, of prepositions, of infinitives, and so on).

You can put me/you/him/her/us/them in place of "whom". "Whom" is an object pronoun.

an example: Give the money to whom ever you like. ..... Give the money to him
