Henførende stedord (relative pronominer) - Relative pronoun (relative pronouns)
The relative pronoun "leading to" or pointing to another part of the preceding main clause; it can be persons, things, concepts or complete sentences.
In English it is very important to select the correct relative pronoun (which, whose, who and that), depending on who or what the pronoun is representative of the overall main sentence.
The relative pronoun is the following:
Who ? refers to persons (and in rare cases, higher-ranking pets):
My mother, who is an excellent cook, made dinner for us.
NB: Whom also leads back to the people, but is used only if there is a pre-position just before the pronoun, or pronoun functioning as direct object in the sentence.
Examples:
The People with whom he worked liked his personality (follows the preposition with).
The boy whom I like plays football every Tuesday (whom is the direct object of the sentence).
Which ? refers to things and concepts:
I love this book, which is based on a true story.
That ? refers to persons and things, but only in relative determining sentences:
The cookies with blueberries and white chocolate that you brought are better than the ones Jamie made yesterday.
