For joining the clauses  we use relative pronouns like : Who =when we talk about people. When = when we talk about time. Which = when we talk about things. Whose = instead of poss. pron.(his-hers-theirs) Where = when we talk about places.
Important!! We can replace the pronouns  who-which-whom  by the pronoun THAT.
Examples: That boy is the one   who   called me yesterday. That boy is the one  that  called me yesterday
This is the ring  which  I received from my grandma. This is the ring  that  I received from my grandma.
