who

pronoun

US /hu/

Who can be used in the following ways:

as a question pronoun (introducing a direct or indirect question): Who’s going to drive?I wonder who they chose to be captain.Who did you give the money to?

as a relative pronoun (referring back to a person and starting a relative clause): I want to speak to the person who deals with my account.She was with her husband, who I had already met. (starting a relative clause that is the subject, object, or complement of another clause): I don’t know who she is.

Notice that who can be used as the subject or object of a verb or preposition. In formal English whom is often used instead of who as the object of a verb and especially as the object of a preposition, but it sounds very formal to say: To whom did you speak? It is more normal to put the preposition at the end and say: Who did you speak to?
