    Who, Which, Whom, What, Whose, That

    Fill in the blanks with an appropriate relative pronoun.

    1. ……………… she said made me angry.

    That
    What
    Which

    What means ‘the things which’.

    2. She has acted in a movie …………….. name I don’t remember.

    which
    what
    whose

    Whose name means the same as ‘the name of which’.

    3. The only thing ………………. keeps me awake is tea.

    that
    what
    which

    'What' means the things which. It cannot replace that. 'Which' is not common after 'only'.

    4. I have got something ………………. belongs to you.

    which
    that
    what

    After quantifiers like something, anything and everything, we prefer that to which.

    Who is possible here in an informal style.

    11. What is the name of the tall girl ………………. just walked in?

    who
    that
