But I think whom means that belong to who, in that sentence it makes reference to the sitting.it can be? I don't understand the difference betwen whom and who

Torsten · Wed Jun 15, 2005 17:51 pm *Difference between who and whom*

In this sentence who is a question word. The speaker wants to know which person is sitting in a certain place.
Now look at these sentences to see the difference between who and whom:

Whom have spoken to?
Whom does this bag belong to?
That's the woman with whom we went to Brazil.

"whom" is usually found with a preposition:

to whom
for whom
under whom
with whom

I'm not going to look this up, but is the difference between "who" and "whom" simply this:

Who = subject
Whom = direct object

?

I've got 10 right answers for the relative pronouns test.
By the way, I have some questions related to Relative Pronouns.
Please help me.
1. Is WHO in the sentence "Who leaves last should turn off the lights" a Relative pronoun?
2. "I don't know who told you that.", "who told you that" is a noun clause, isn't it? "Who" is a pronoun, isn't it a relative pronoun?
3. Can WHOEVER be used as a Relative pronoun?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Torsten

The first time I answered the exercises I got 8 correct out of ten. Finally after looking at the explanation of the word 'that' & 'which' where I've got mistakes, I repeat the exercises I got 10 out of ten. Please correct me if my reply to you in this forum has a grammar errors and I'll accept it graciously.

Regards
