Let’s go step by step to solve both exercises.

Exercise 1: Choose the correct answers
We need to fill in each blank with the right relative pronoun:
who,
whom, or
whose.
Quick reminder:
- Use
who when it’s the subject (doing the action).
- Use
whom when it’s the object (receiving the action) — often after a preposition like “to”, “with”, etc.
- Use
whose to show possession (like “his”, “her”, “their”).
Now let’s do each sentence:
1. The girl to ______ I spoke is my cousin.
→ “I spoke to the girl” → “the girl” is the object of “spoke to” → use
whom
2. The woman ______ you saw yesterday is my girlfriend.
→ “you saw the woman” → “woman” is object → use
whom
3. The man ______ gives me a card is a teacher.
→ “The man gives me...” → he is doing the action → subject → use
who
4. Jisoo found a cat ______ leg was broken.
→ “cat’s leg” → possession → use
whose
5. The house ______ windows are blue is my grandparents’.
→ “house’s windows” → possession → use
whose
6. I know the boy ______ won our school’s marathon contest last year.
→ “boy won” → subject → use
who
7. Was that the lady ______ money was stolen yesterday?
→ “lady’s money” → possession → use

8. My brother ______ is very good at sports is a member of the school’s football team.
→ “brother is very good” → subject → use

9. The lady ______ dress is red is a celebrity.
→ “lady’s dress” → possession → use
whose
10. Our teacher was the one ______ marked our tests.
→ “one marked” → subject → use
who
11. This is the guy ______ my best friend fell in love with.

whom
12. That is the boy ______ helped me to find my house.
→ “boy helped me” → subject → use
who
13. These are the children ______ parents passed away.
→ “children’s parents” → possession → use
whose
14. The child ______ played in the yard was my brother.

who
15. The man ______ bicycle you borrowed yesterday is my uncle.

Exercise 2: Use “who”, “whose”, “whom” to complete sentences
Example given:
“The woman / I met / yesterday / is a teacher.”
→ becomes: “The woman whom I met yesterday is a teacher.”
Why? Because “I met the woman” → she’s the object → use “whom”
Now let’s do the rest:
1. The man / met my sister / is a doctor.
→ “The man met my sister” → he did the action → subject → use
who
→ Final:
The man who met my sister is a doctor.
2. He has written / a book / name / I’ve forgotten.
→ We’re talking about the book’s name → possession → use
whose
→ Final:
He has written a book whose name I’ve forgotten.
3. The girl / sits next to me / is the new student.
→ “The girl sits next to me” → she’s doing the sitting → subject → use
who
→ Final:
The girl who sits next to me is the new student.
✔ Exercise 2 Answers:
