• These sentences are an example of using relative pronouns.
• Some of these are who, whom, which, whose, whoever, that, etc.
• These pronouns are used to enhance the meaning of the sentence or to add other important details.
• They connect the subject noun to the adjective clause in the sentence. As a result, we get a relative clause.
