After a noun, to make it clear which person or thing we are talking about:

To tell us more about a person or thing:
My mother, who was born overseas, has always been a great traveller. Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired. We had fish and chips, which is my favourite meal.
But we do not use that as a subject in this kind of relative clause (after a comma).

wat

4. When to use it We use whose as the possessive form of who:

5. When (not) to use it
If the relative pronoun is followed by a verb, the relative pronoun is a subject pronoun. Subject pronouns must always be used.
The apple which is lying on the table.
If the relative pronoun is not followed by a verb (but by a noun or pronoun), the relative pronoun is an object pronoun. Object don’t have to be used.
The apple (which) George lay on the table.
