1 Interrogative pronouns: uses
We use who and whom on their own:
Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses. The most common relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, that. The relative pronoun we use depends on what we are referring to and the type of relative clause.
We usually use whose as a relative pronoun to indicate possession by people and animals. In more formal styles we can also use it for things.
In informal styles, we often leave out the relative pronoun. We only do this in defining relative clauses, and when the relative pronoun is the object of the verb. We don’t leave out the relative pronoun when it is the subject of the verb nor in non-defining relative clauses:
