Relative pronouns, such as 'whom' and 'who,' are used to refer to people. 'That' and 'whose' are relative pronouns that can be used when referring to things, people, ideas or qualities.

If a pronoun is needed to refer to something other than a person, the pronoun 'which' should be used. For example, consider the sentence, 'Do you know which house Ronnie lives in?' Here, the word 'which' is a relative pronoun that refers to Ronnie's house.
