We use \"whom\" when it's for the object and \"who\" when it's for the subject.

For example;
Who saw Miss Stone at the library?
The person who saw Miss Stone is the subject.

Whom did Miss Stone see at the library?
The person whom Miss Stone saw is the object.

This is a common mistake among students, perhaps, even among non-students.

The answer for the question should be \"whom\" as Mr Stone's daughter went out with somebody--- somebody is the object.

Hope this helps.

I know how. Is involved in first and second verb form, the first verb, \"helped\" can be in any form of present or past tense, but the second form should be a base form.
