1. Basic Definitions aur Use

Who: Ek relative pronoun hai jo sirf logon ke liye istemal hota hai. Ye kisi vyakti (Shakhs) ya specific person ko refer karta hai.

Which: Ye ek relative pronoun hai jo cheezon, jaanwaron, aur ideas ke liye istemal hota hai.

Examples:

Who: 

• The girl who won the race is my friend.
• Woh ladki jisne race jeeti hai, woh meri dost hai.

Which: 

• The book which I borrowed is very interesting.
• Woh kitab jo maine udhaar li thi, bahut dilchasp hai.

2. Using "Who" in Detail

As a Subject Pronoun: "Who" ek clause ka subject ban sakta hai aur action karta hai.

Example: 

• The man who is speaking is my father.
• Woh aadmi jo bol raha hai, mere pita hain.

Possessive Form ("Whose"): Jab kisi cheez ka relation kisi ke saath dikhana ho.

Example: 

• The girl whose brother is a doctor is my friend.
• Woh ladki jiske bhai doctor hain, meri dost hai.

3. Using "Which" in Detail

Cheezon aur Jaanwaron ke Liye: "Which" ka use cheezon, jaanwaron, aur ideas ko refer karne ke liye hota hai.

Example: 

• The car which is parked outside is mine.
• Woh gaadi jo bahar khadi hai, meri hai.

Extra Information Jodna (Non-Defining Clauses): "Which" aksar aise information add karta hai jo sentence ke meaning ke liye essential nahi hota. Isko non-defining relative clauses kehte hain aur commas se alag kiya jata hai.

Non-Defining Relative Clauses (Commas ke saath): Yeh extra information dete hain jo sentence ke meaning ke liye zaroori nahi hoti aur commas se alag kiya jata hai.
