LEARN THIS! Defining relative clauses
a. A defining relative clause tells us which person we are talking about.
He’s the police officer who arrested the man. The police officer who arrested the man is over there.
b. In informal style, we often use that instead of who and which.
The boy that you saw is my brother.
c. In formal style, we can use whom instead of who when the pronoun is the object of the clause or follows a preposition.
The nurse whom the police questioned has moved abroad. Is this the man to whom you are referring?
