Identify and correct pronoun errors with ‘who’

Key notes:

1️⃣ What is “Who”? 👤

• Who is a subject pronoun.
  👉 It is used when the pronoun does the action in the sentence.
• Example:

2️⃣ Common Mistake: Mixing up Who vs. Whom 😵

• Who → Subject (the doer of the action).
• Whom → Object (receives the action).

📌 Example:
❌ Incorrect: Whom is knocking at the door? 🚪
✅ Correct: Who is knocking at the door?

3️⃣ Rule for Correction 📝

• If the pronoun replaces the subject → use Who.
• If the pronoun replaces the object → use Whom.

👉 Quick Test ✅: Replace with he or him.

• If “he” fits → use Who.

• Who/Whom is going to the party? 🎉
  → He is going. (So ✅ Who)
• To who/whom should I speak? 💬
  → I should speak to him. (So ✅ Whom)
