The concept of subjects and objects are much easier than they sound. If you know instinctively that “Me went to the movies” and “Kiss I, you fool” are wrong, then you already get the concept.

For example, we can say the subject first, then the verb, then the object. English uses this word order, as do many other languages like Nahuatl from Mexico, Portuguese, and Malagasy from Madagascar.

An easy way to handle tough whoever/whomever situations is to remember that whenever a pronoun is positioned to be the object of one word and the subject of another, the subject form wins.
