The woman who teaches psychology is also a writer.
("woman" is the subject)
They met a woman who teaches psychology.
("woman" is the direct object)
They met in the restaurant where we had lunch yesterday.
("restaurant" is the object of a preposition)

I'm talking with the woman whom you met yesterday.
("whom" is the object of the adjective clause)

Please give me the book which is on the table. (subject)
Please give me the book which you read yesterday. (object)

They met a woman that teaches psychology.
I'm talking with the woman that you met yesterday.
Please give me the book that is on the table.
Please give me the book that you read yesterday.
("that" instead of "who(m)" or "which" in identifying clauses)

I'm talking to Barbara, whom you met yesterday.
* I'm talking to Barbara, that you met yesterday. (WRONG)
(don't use "that" after the comma in nonidentifying clauses)

I'm talking with the woman you met yesterday.
Please give me the book you read yesterday.
(take out "that" when it's the object of the clause)
---
They met the woman whose book is on the table.
They met the woman whose book you read yesterday.
("whose" - when the extra information is about a person's possession)

I	me	my	mine
you	you	your	yours
we	us	our	ours
they	them	their	theirs
he	him	his	his
she	her	her	hers
it	it	its	(its)

---
They met in the restaurant where we had lunch yesterday.
They met in the restaurant in which we had lunch yesterday.
They met in the restaurant that we had lunch in yesterday.

(if we use "which" or "that" for location, we need the preposition. "where" includes prepositions)

I remember the day when we met.
I remember the day that we met.
I remember the day we met.

4 Y (we can remove "when" if there's no comma)
5 Y
6 N (no "that" after a comma)
("which" = the whole previous sentence, "Nancy is impatient with detail and routine.")
7 N (can't use "which" for people)
8 N (no "that" after a comma)
Nancy has hired Paul, who is an accountant.
Nancy has hired Paul, which gives her extra free time.
