owns the hotel. 
Do you know the man who 
I met yesterday? 
whom 
(object pronoun) 
We use whom for people. Do you know the girl 
whom I met yesterday?

about possession.

brother is an actor. 
which 
(subject pronoun and 
object pronoun) 
We use which for things.

last night was very 
interesting.
Relative pronouns/

and things 
I spoke to the woman that
