Asthe relativepronounrelatesto anothernounprecedingit in the sentence,it connectsa dependent clauseto an antecedent(a nounthat precedesthis pronoun).Therefore,relativepronounsact as the subjector objectofthe dependent clause.

Objectivecase You use the objectivecase when these relative pronounsare the object (receivingthe action) of the dependentclause:whom. e.g. Ihts ,s the approach taken by journalists, whom some consider to be objective. Whomrelatesbackto the nounjournalistsand is the objectof the verbconsider.Thesubjectof the dependent cfauseis some. Referringto a place,thing or idea: which, that When using relativepronounsfor places,things or ideas, rather than determiningcase, the writer must decidewhetherthe informationin the dependentclause is essentialto the meaningof the independentclauseor simplyadditionalinformation. When informationis critical to the understandingof the main clause, use that as the appropriate relativepronounand do not set the informationoff by commas. e.g. American generalshave delivered a message that is difficult to ignore. Ihaf relatesbackto the nounmessage and is necessary for the readerto knowwhatmessage the sentence is about.
