usage of who, whom, whose?
105251
To choose correctly among the forms of who, re-phrase the sentence so you choose between he and him. If you want him, write whom; if you want he, write who. \n\nWho do you think is responsible? (Do you think he is responsible?) \nWhom shall we ask to the party? (Shall we ask him to the party?) \nGive the box to whomever you please. (Give the box to him.) \nGive the box to whoever seems to want it most. (He seems to want it most. [And then the clause "whoever seems to want it most" is the object of the preposition "to."]) \nWhoever shows up first will win the prize. (He shows up first.) \nThe only problem most writers have with whose is confusing it with who's, which looks like a possessive but is really the contraction for who is. In the same way that we should not confuse his with he's (the contraction for he is or he has), we should not confuse whose with who's. \n\nWho's that walking down the street?\nWhose coat is this?\nI don't care whose paper this is. It's brilliant!\nWhose can be used to refer to inanimate objects as well as to people (although there is a kind of folk belief that it should refer only to humans and other mammals): "I remember reading a book — whose title I can't recall right now — about a boy and a basenji."

In what context was the word used?

All are correct. Traditionally, 2 and 3 are correct. The word "whom" nowadays is sometimes considered dated (not used anymore, or very rarely used). "Whom" is in modern English replaced by "who". However, the word "whom" is sometimes still used in formal contexts (formal speeches, formal letters, contracts, etc).\n\nConversationally, no. 1 is used. If you use no. 2, 3 and 4 in a conversation, it will sound funny. To answer your question, no. 3 is the most grammatically correct, but not quite acceptable conversationally. You cannot use no. 4, but still can use no. 2.\n\nA lot of English speakers do not speak English properly, so you must accept the fact that although no. 1 is not 100% correct gramatically, and no. 3 is correct grammatically, no. 1 is more acceptable conversationally than no. 3.

The following is copied and pasted from the below website:\n\nWho is a subject pronoun; it is used as the subject of a verb. Whom is an object pronoun; it is never used as the subject of a verb.\n• Jacqueline, whom you may remember from high school, is now a Jeopardy champion.\nIf you can’t get who and whom straight, try this trick: rephrase the sentence to get rid of who or whom. If you find you’ve replaced who/whom with he, she, or they, who is correct. If you find you’ve replaced who/whom with him, her, or them, then whom is correct. \n\nFor example, suppose you have the question Who/whom is the most famous A-list star eating lunch at Elaine’s? Rephrase it: She is the most famous A-list star eating lunch at Elaine’s. Since you’ve used she, you know who is correct in the original question: Who is the most famous A-list star at Elaine’s? \n\nAnother example: Vaughn wondered who/whom he would kiss next. Rephrase: Vaughn would kiss her next. Since the rephrased sentence uses her, you know whom is correct: Vaughn wondered whom he would kiss next.

“Who” and whoever” are subjective pronouns; “whom” and “whomever” are in the objective case. As simple and important as that distinction is, many people have difficulty deciding on the proper usage of “who” and “whom” in sentences. \n    The two sentences below illustrate the easy usage in which “who” is clearly the subject and “whom”clearly the object. In such simple cases, virtually everyone can determine the proper choice: \n\n    Who is that masked man? (subject) \n\n    The men, four of whom are ill, were indicted for fraud. (object) \n\nThree “easy-to-use” rules\nso you'll always get it correct\n\n      Rule #1: Substitute “he/him” or “she/her”: If it's either “he” or “she,” then it's who; if it's “him” or “her,” then it's whom.\n\n     Rule #2: Every verb with a tense in a sentence must have a subject. And that word is always in the nominative case, so it's "who." For example: In this sentence, “I decided to vote for whoever called me first”:\n      • “I” is the subject of “decided”\n      • “he” (whoever) is the subject of the verb “called.”\n\n      In the sentence, “Give it to whoever deserves it”:\n      • The implied “you” is the subject of “give”\n      • "he" (whoever) is the subject of the verb “deserves.”\n      This rule supersedes the first rule as it relates to who” and “whom.”\n\n      Note: Related to this rule is one that says: The subject of a phrase is always attached to that phrase -- no matter what. For example:\n             Ask whoever reads that book to answer the question.\n\n     Break down the sentence thusly:\n     (You) ask him (he reads that book) to answer the question.\n\n     In the phrase “he reads that book,” you cannot separate the subject “he” from the phrase to which it is attached.\n\n     If you remember these two rules -- substitute “he/him” or “she/her,” and that every verb with a tense must have a subject -- you should solve the "who/whom" quandary every time.\n\n     If you apply those two rules and you're still not sure, apply the all-important Rule #3.\n\n     Rule #3: If it takes more than a 30 seconds to figure it out, pick the one that sounds best to the ear (read it aloud) and move on. Why? Because even grammarians are likely to squabble over which to use. But always -- always -- apply rules #1 and #2 first.

WHOEVER acts like the subject of the sentence, that's why it is used BEFORE a verb, as in "WHOEVER calls, I'm not in". WHOMEVER acts like the object, ie, the receiver of the action, and so it goes AFTER the verb, as in "You can ask WHOMEVER you want. However, the use of the latter is being lost due to its lack of usage, especially among youths.

It depends on which is the "subject", and which is the "predicate". "With" would presume association, whilst "By" would suggest Participation.
