Defining clauses give information which cannot be left out because it gives important information about the subject.
Ex.: The doctor who treated me told me not to
worry.Ex.: The restaurant where I had lunch
yesterday is famous for good fish.

Non-defining clauses give extra information about a person, thing or place. This is separated from the main sentence by commas.
Ex: Pablo Picasso, who died in 1973, was a painter and sculptor.

• WHICH/THAT: Which and that refer to things. That is
less formal than which, and some speakers prefer to use which.

Ex.: The road that we took led to an ancient temple.

That is also used to refer to people in speech and informal writing in defining clauses.

In Non-defining clauses that can not be used. You should use which to talk about things and who to talk about people.
Ex.: John, who is Peter’s brother, is an actor. (who refers to a person)
Ex.: The film, which was also shown in the USA, is extremely funny. (which refers to a thing)

- WHO AND WHOM: Who and whom refer to people. We use
whom in formal speech and writing to introduce an object clause
Ex.: The doctor that/who/whom I spoke to told me not to worry.
In informal language people use who instead of whom.
