  • @Mari-LouA: "with someone whom" and "with whom" are not very closely related. In a phrase like "with someone who is trustworthy", it is not possible to replace who with whom. – herisson May 01 '19 at 03:23
  • @sumelic Nor does the question this is marked a duplicate of say that you should. Your example changes the construction of the sentence by introducing a verb into the phrase. – Jason Bassford May 01 '19 at 12:03
  • @JasonBassford: "with someone whom you trust" and "with someone who is trustworthy" both have relative clauses with verbs; "whom" is the object of the verb in the first and the subject of the verb in the second. In both cases, the use of "who" vs. "whom" is dictated by the pronoun's relationship to the verb in the relative clause. In "The person with whom I'm doing the project", the use of "whom" is dictated by its relationship to the preposition "with". – herisson May 01 '19 at 20:28
