Whom and Whomever

Who and whoever are subjects. Whom and whomever are objects. But be careful when the pronoun is in the middle of the sentence. Sometimes you need the object form: "The company will hire whomever they can." But other times, you need the subject form because the object clause needs its own subject: "The company will hire whoever can get the job done."
