Who becomes whom when it is the object of a sentence.  \nWho is speaking? To whom is she speaking?  \nAn easy way to tell the difference is to switch around the words in the sentence and replace who with another pronoun. For example:  \nWho is she speaking to? » She is speaking to (who /whom)? » She is speaking to we. – OR - She is speaking to them.  \n\n| Subjective |\n| --- |\n| Case Pronouns » Who\u003Cbr>he\u003Cbr>I\u003Cbr>it\u003Cbr>she\u003Cbr>they\u003Cbr>we\u003Cbr>you\u003Cbr>Objective Case Pronouns » Whom\u003Cbr>her\u003Cbr>him\u003Cbr>it\u003Cbr>me\u003Cbr>them\u003Cbr>us\u003Cbr>you |\n\n“She is speaking to them” is correct.
