		One of the major sources of problems with pronouns is forgetting that a pronoun must usually refer specifically to another word or group of words in the same sentence or a previous sentence.
		It is important to remember that in most cases, a pronoun must refer to the same form of a word that is actually in the sentence.
		To determine when to use "who" or "whom," keep in mind that "who" is a subject, like "he" or "they." "Whom" is an object, like "him" or "them." Test a sentence by making a substitution.
