Is it who to ask or Whom to ask? The grammatically correct way to phrase this is whom to ask. The phrase to ask really means should I ask. Whenever we need a pronoun that refers to the subject, we use who.
How do you use whom in a question?
If the preposition is at the end of the question, informal English uses “who” instead of “whom.” (As seen in “Who will I speak with” above.) However, if the question begins with a preposition, you will need to use “whom,” whether the sentence is formal or informal. (As in “With whom will I speak?”)
What answers the question to whom or for whom?
Here’s the deal: If you need a subject (someone doing the action or someone in the state of being described in the sentence), who is your pronoun. If you need an object (a receiver of the action), go with whom. A good trick is to see if you can substitute the words he or she or they. If so, go with who.
Who should I give to or whom?
