BAQUE FLORES YADIRA

Subject or object pronoun for people, animals and things in defining relative clauses (who or which are also possible)

Example: Mark is dating a woman that works in my company.

We use WHOSE in relative clauses instead of HIS/HER/THEIR.

Example: Whose book is this?

You can use WHERE in a relative clause to talk about a place.

Example: Where did you buy this bag.

When we are talking about things, we use THAT or WHICH (not who) in a relative clause.

Example: Do you see the car which is lying on the roof?

We use "WHO" in a relative clause when we are talking about people (not things). We use "WHO" instead of HE/ SHE/ THEY

Example: I work with people who are responsable

WHOM is possible instead of who when it is the object of the verb in the relative clause.

Example: The boy whom we met is called Peter.
