I never get when to use who's and whose/who and whom

"I knew someone on FST who's grammar isn't the best".

"I knew someone on FST whose grammar isn't the best".

Which one's correct?


"Who's/whose cawk is the biggest on FST? It depends on who/whom you ask."

Rewrite that in a grammatically correct manner?

For starters, "who's" is the contraction. "....who is (or who has) grammar isn't the best" makes no sense in that sentence.:ermm: (plus that sentence would sound better with "knew" matching up with "wasn't" instead of "isn't")
"Whose" is possessive.

I don't really use whom that much but I know whom is the objective form of who.

Think....to whom, with whom, he is someone whom I dislike....

The only time I think "who" sounds shitty is when it's used after a preposition. "Whom" sounds fitting.

Otherwise use "who". I doubt a grammaranimal would even pull you up on it.

Yeah, she should "possess" another name.

Those are the questions.
