Defining relative clauses
1. Defining relative clauses come immediately after a noun.
2. They give vital information about that noun.
3. They can go in the middle or at the end of a sentence (no commas)
Relative pronouns:
- Who - people
- Where - places
- Which (that) things
- Whose (possessions)
who or which - refer to subject or object of a sentence. 
When they refer to the object. It is possible to leave out who or which.

-You can use that (informal) or which (formal)
-You can use that (informal) instead of who.
