Who, Whom, and Hoot
© Rudolph
Henry the hooting owl
didn’t have a clue
about when he should use whom
or when he should use who.
His friend Willy the wise owl
said it is as easy as swimming in a pool.
You just need to know
a very simple rule.
There are just two things
that need to be checked
in order to decide
which word is correct.
If the question can be answered
using the word HE,
then the choice is
as easy as can be.
Use WHO.
Who needs to see?
He needs to see.
Who wants some tea?
He wants some tea.
Who likes to ski?
He likes to ski.
If the question can be answered
using the word HIM,
then the choice is
as easy as
lifting one pound at the gym.
Use WHOM.
For whom should I spy?
I should spy for him.
For whom should I cry?
I should cry for him?
For whom should I try?
I should try for him.
So, now Henry the hooting owl
knows how to use whom and who.
Who needs to hoot?
He needs to hoot.
For whom should I hoot?
I should hoot for him.
I just hope you all
give a hoot too
about when to use whom
and when to use who.
