WWake, woke (waked, woke (waked, woken)

When, where. Be sure that when refers to time, and where refers to place. It is wrong to use these words to designate a situation or case that does not suggest a particular time or place. WRONG Democracy is when the people rule RIGHT:
“Democracy is the rule of the people.”
Where. See when. Which. See that and who.
Who, whom whoever, whomever. Ah, the pain of choosing between who and
“whom”! It really isn’t that hard if you remember that who is always and only a
subject, and whom is always and only an object: Who hits whom Who does what to whom Who is that That is who With whom did you talk You talked with whom?”
Each of the examples uses the pronouns who and whom properly. The only confusing part is when who appears after certain verbs, like “is” and other linking
verbs (appear “become,” and soon. The right choice is who because linking verbs do not have objects they have subject complements (also called “predicate
nominatives”). Subject complements are in the same form (and case) as subjects.

“whom” is weakening and even becoming a sign of pretension. Who is that for?”
sounds right, while For whom is that might get an odd look, even though it is technically correct because whom is the object of for Of course, if your everyday circle of friends or audience is made up of English professors, then the rst example might be worse than the second. Similarly, in all formal writing, it is important to maintain the standard English usage and observe the grammatical rules. Just how far speech or writing can deviate and still be comprehensible and acceptable is a matter for each speaker or writer to judge. See also grammar, usage, and style.
Note also that who refers to people, whereas which refers to things.
