I listed whom to go with us there.


In the above, I think 'who' is better than 'whom' because 'who' is the subject of 'go'. What do you think of my opinion?

Thanks.

Hey -

"Whom" is correct, but you will hear "who" as many native speakers do not get the "who/whom" thing right.

I always tell my students to substitute "him" and them go from there. If "him" would work, than "whom" is correct.

ie. I listed him...

Hope that helps = Kristi
