THAT / WHICH

• If your use these words, you will describe an object or a situation.

• Examples:

• I want to buy the dress that I saw at the store.

• She has a dog which loves to eat carrots.

• Examples:

• Laura is the person who I was telling you about.

• Do you know the people who live next to you?

WHERE

• The building where I saw you is closed today.

• I can't find the restaurant where we ate last week.
