Answer:

A relative pronoun is used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun. We usually use 'whose' as a relative pronoun to indicate possession by people or animals.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS

A relative pronoun is used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun. The clause modifies, or describes, the noun.

The most common relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, and that. Sometimes when and where can be used as relative pronouns as well.

Sentences

Relative pronouns are placed directly after the noun or pronoun they modify. For example:

The driver who ran the stop sign was careless.

The children, whom we love dearly, need better educations.

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died. (Erma Bombeck)

I have a friend whose cat is annoying.

The book, which is now out of print, has all the information you need.

This is the book that everyone is talking about.

In each example above, the subject of the sentence is described by a relative clause (italicized). As these clauses describe a noun or a pronoun, they are also known as adjective clauses, because they act like adjectives in the sentence. Each clause is introduced by a relative pronoun (in bold). Relative pronouns connect the description to the rest of the sentence in an orderly way.

Occasionally, the relative adverbs "when" and "where" are also used as relative pronouns. For example:

Grandma remembers a time when radio shows were popular.

I want to visit the island where my grandma was born.

In these cases, "when" and "where" introduce clauses that describe a noun the refers to a time or place, making them work as relative pronouns in these sentences
