Ways to tell them apart:

etymology
  • Whom is used in formal writing as the object of a verb or preposition.
  • Whome is not a standard word in English and is likely a misspelling of whom.
  • Remember that whom often follows prepositions like to, for, or with.
  • If you can replace the word with him/her in the same structure, whom is likely correct.
  • Think of whom as tied to actions – it is who is receiving the action, rather than doing it.
