Who, Whom, Whose?

My students don't know how to differentiate between WHO, WHOM and WHOSE. Here is the easy explanations:

1. WHO: a subject pronoun like "he," "she" and "we". We use "who" to ask which person does an action or which person is a certain way.
Example: Who made the birthday cake?

2. WHOM: is an object pronoun like "him," "her" and "us." We use "whom" to ask which person receives an action.
Example: Whom are you going to invite for the party?

3. WHOSE: is a possessive pronoun like "his," "her" and "our." We use "whose" to find out which person something belongs to.
Example: Whose camera is this?

Crystal clear?
