- We use who for a person, and which for a thing or an idea. 
- We use that for both a person and a thing/idea. 
- Whose is a possessive pronoun. 
- When who is the object, whom, with a preposition, can be used instead, but it is formal and rather old-fashioned.       
 In modern speech, we use who, or we leave out the pronoun.
- Where (relative adverb) refers to places.
