25、 last week is to the south of the city.3.that/ who/whom: referring to a person, can be used as subject or object in theattributive clause; whom can be used as an object: The girl (that/whom/who) we saw yesterday was Jims sister.The man that/who is talking to my father is my maths teacher.3. whose: r
