Relative Clauses

Relative Pronouns

Use who or that for people, which or that for things, whose for possession, where for places, and when for times. In defining clauses, that can replace who/which. In non-defining clauses (with commas), that is not used — you must use who or which. When the pronoun is the object of the clause, it can be omitted in defining clauses: "The book (that) I read was excellent."
