How this list was compiled: Written for this page: sentences with one blank for who or whom. The sheets follow the formal rule: who stands where he or they would stand (the subject), and whom where him or them would stand (the object of a verb or of a preposition). The rule was read in the Purdue Online Writing Lab page Pronoun Case, owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/grammar/pronouns/pronoun_case.html, and in the Wikipedia article Who (pronoun), en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_(pronoun), on 16 October 2026. Informal English often uses who in both places, as both pages say; the key marks the formal choice. Sentences where usage books disagree (whom you believe was, whoever and whomever) are left out. The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts name whom among the relative pronouns in L.4.1a and pronoun case in L.6.1a, read the same day in the standards document at thecorestandards.org. First names are made up; no person, brand or character is named. Licence: own work

How it works

These grammar worksheets practice one choice, who or whom. Who is the subject form, like he. Whom is the object form, like him, and it follows a preposition: to whom, with whom. The key marks the formal choice.

Read the full guide

The he or him test

Answer the question, or say the clause on its own, with he or him. If he fits, circle who: He rang the bell, so Who rang the bell? If him fits, circle whom: You called him, so Whom did you call? Him and whom both end in m.

Three kinds of sentence

A sheet mixes all three. Under Set, The he or him test gives the answer first (She thanked him. ___ did she thank?), In questions leaves it out, and In clauses puts the choice mid-sentence: The coach ___ we thanked gave a speech.

  • In a clause, test only the clause: in the coach whom we thanked, we thanked him.

Questions and answers

When do you use who and when whom?

Use who for the subject of a verb: Who rang the bell? Use whom for the object of a verb or of a preposition: Whom did you call? To whom did you write?

Is whom still used in everyday English?

Whom is the formal choice. In speech and informal writing many people use who in both places: the Purdue OWL gives To whom am I talking? as formal and Who am I talking to? as informal. These sheets practice the formal rule.

Are these who vs whom grammar worksheets for 5th grade or 6th grade?

Either. The Common Core names whom in grade 4 (L.4.1a, relative pronouns) and pronoun case in grade 6 (L.6.1a), so a 5th grade who and whom worksheet falls between them. Outside those two grades the fit is our suggestion.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. The last page repeats the sheet with who or whom circled and written in. Uncheck Add an answer key as the last page under More options to print the sheet alone.
