Whom

Whom is referred to as the object or preposition hence it is an objective pronoun, while who is related to the interrogative pronoun. Hence, it is a subjective pronoun.

For example:

• Who was it behind the tree?
• Who were those people at the door?

It can also be used as a ‘relative clause’

For example: 

• Are we talking about the girl who left the city last year?
• I like those people who respect their parents.

Here are some prepositions you can use to make a sentence with whom

Prepositions such as to/with/by/from/for whom

Who

Who is an interrogative noun, and using who instead of whom is also correct in an informal way !

Some examples of who and its use,

• Who woke up late?
• Who took my camera from my room?
• Who cooked the food tonight?

Who is used to find out the subject (person) doing an action

Here are some pronouns that can be used with who:

He/she/ they etc 

Who is referred to find the subject doing the action, while whom is referred to the receiver of action

For example:

• Who killed whom?
