1. We use defining relative clauses to explain what
A person (WHO)

Example 1: That’s the man who lost all

his money last year

A thing (WHICH)
Is or does
Example 2: A clock is something which
tells the time We can use THAT
instead of WHO or
A place (WHERE)
WHICH
Example 3: That’s the bookshop where I e.g: That’s the man
bought the Harry Potter book last year that lost all his money

We can also use WHICH

The verb after WHERE to talk about a place
needs a subject e.g: A bookshop is a place which
sells books
