GRAMMAR
A) “Making questions with Whom” (p. 74)
 “Whom” is an alternative for “who”. Sometimes who/whom is accompanied by
a preposition. When there is a preposition in the question, we have these three
possibilities:
1) Who did you talk to?
2) Whom did you talk to?
3) To whom did you talk?
Important: You can’t say “To who did you talk?”

 When there isn’t a preposition in the question, we have two possibilities:

4) Who do you want to see?
5) Whom do you want to see?
