Who or Whom in English grammar??
But I don’t think most of the native speakers use WHOM sentence.
Do you use Whom sentence in your coversation??
I think who is more natural.

Just as simple as that.
I wish everybody could learn how easy it is to use the correct form!
WHO is a subject.
[WHO is going today? … I want to know WHO will be willing to play… Let’s decide WHO will represent us at the conference.]
WHOM is always an object. Either the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition.
[Let’s decide WHOM we’ll choose… I never know WHOM I’m calling… I’ll tell you a story about the man for WHOM my son was named….]
Just make yourself stop and think about the parts of speech before you talk, and you’ll soon start using who and whom properly without thinking about it.
HOwever, it’s a trend slowly dying out.
and you seem to only hear and read it in formal situations.
I guess it’s like the word shall, in terms of no many people using it anymore.
It’s easy enough, take this sentence
“Who/whom did you go with?”
Answer it as if the person is male…
“I went with he/him”
If “he” is correct, then the sentence is “Who did you go with?”
If “him” is correct, then the sentence is “Whom did you go with?”
Just remember, if it ends in “M” (him) then in ends in “M” (whom)
I say whom often. It’s much more proper.
Whom is the object.
Who does things.
Whom is done to.
