Relative Pronouns 

Relative pronouns introduce a relative clause. The choices of relative pronouns are determined by the pronoun used and the noun of the pronoun to which it refers. Relative pronouns are used to refer to nouns mentioned previously; whether people, place, things, or ideas. The main relative pronouns are which, that, who, whom, whoever, whose, and whichever. For example:

Whom and who – Used to describe people when the person is the object of the verb. For example, the response of the teachers “whom” I consulted has been very positive.

When – Used for specific times or periods.

Where – Used for places

That- Used for any noun

Whose – ‘Possessive’ –  can be used for people or places. For example, The man whose daughter won awards is a teacher.

Which – Refers to animals or things. It introduces an essential clause. For example, she won’t have much time to prepare for the tournament, which is this afternoon.
