Finalmente uma forma simples de os distinguir!

This one opens a big can of worms. “Who” is a subjective — or nominativepronoun, along with "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they." It’s used when the pronoun acts as the subject of a clause. “Whom” is an objective pronoun, along with "him," "her," "it", "us," and "them." It’s used when the pronoun acts as the object of a clause. Usingwhoorwhomdepends on whether you’re referring to the subject or object of a sentence. When in doubt, substitutewhowith the subjective pronounsheorshe,” e.g., Who loves you? cf., He loves me. Similarly, you can also substitutewhomwith the objective pronounshimorher.” e.g., I consulted an attorney whom I met in New York. cf., I consulted him.
