Problem 7 - Entrance Test

Which of these sentences correctly uses ‘whom’?

A. To whom did you give the letter?B. Whom did you say was calling?C. Whom is knocking at the door?D. Give the prize to whomever wins.

Correct: A

‘Whom’ is the objective case; in option A it is the object of the preposition ‘to’. In the other clauses ‘who’ is required because the pronouns are subjects (nominative case).
