General rule for who vs whom:
- Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence.
- Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.
How do you use whom?
Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with “he”' or “'she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom.

- He saw the faces of those whom he loved at his birthday celebration.
