But I think whom means that belong to who, in that sentence it makes reference to the sitting.it can be? I don't understand the difference betwen whom and who

[Torsten]

In this sentence who is a question word. The speaker wants to know which person is sitting in a certain place.
Now look at these sentences to see the difference between who and whom:

Whom have spoken to?
Whom does this bag belong to?
That's the woman with whom we went to Brazil.

"whom" is usually found with a preposition:

to whom
for whom
under whom
with whom

I'm not going to look this up, but is the difference between "who" and "whom" simply this:

Who = subject
Whom = direct object
