The more common relative pronouns are:

Although "whom" is grammatically correct, it's slightly less

“whom” is the best choice

recommendation.

interview?
• There's no one whom I trust more than my best friend.

Example:
• The movie, what everyone had been waiting for, finally
premiered last night. (Here, "what" refers to "the movie" and
provides extra details about its popularity).
• What you said surprised me. (Here, "what" functions as the
subject of the sentence).
• I can't believe what a mess this room is! (Here, "what" acts as
the object of the preposition "of").

• The book which I am reading is about ancient history.


• This is the house which we bought last year.
• She gave the gift which I bought her to her friend.
• That is the town in which I grew up.

• Can you give me the message that I have for Sarah

"whose" refers back to "book" and specifies which book you
want returned.)
• The woman whose car is parked outside is asking for you.
(Here, "whose" refers to "woman" and tells you which woman is
asking for you.)
• We need to find the person whose wallet was left on the bus. (In
this case, "whose" refers to "person" and helps you identify
which person lost their wallet.)
