Question

should I use who or whom for this?

I just finished watching a romantic movie starring Robert Rodriguez, whom is a wonderful actor. The film was one hour and five minutes which was a little too long for my tastes but I still enjoyed it very much.

Answer 1

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Because Robert is the subject, you use WHO. The word WHOM is the objective case, not the subject.

example: That is the actor WHOM I saw. The subject is I and the direct object is actor.

Answer 2

One fairly easy way to decide a question like this is to practice substitution. In this case you can substitute "he" for "who" and "him" for "whom."

Which makes sense?
--He is a wonderful actor.
--Him is a wonderful actor.

If you chose "he" then in your sentence it needs to be "who" -- but if you chose "him" then in your sentence it needs to be "whom."

What do you think?
