What class of pronouns other than personal has a nominative case and an objective case?

The class of pronouns other than personal pronouns that have a nominative and objective case is relative pronouns.

Here's a breakdown:

* Personal pronouns: These pronouns represent specific people or things (e.g., I, you, he, she, it, we, they). They have distinct forms for nominative and objective cases:

* Nominative: Used as the subject of a verb (e.g., "I went to the store").

* Objective: Used as the object of a verb or preposition (e.g., "He gave the book to me").

* Relative pronouns: These pronouns connect a dependent clause to a main clause and refer to a noun in the main clause (e.g., who, whom, which, that). They also have distinct forms for nominative and objective cases:

* Nominative: Used as the subject of a verb within the relative clause (e.g., "The woman who lives next door is a doctor").

* Objective: Used as the object of a verb or preposition within the relative clause (e.g., "The man whom I met yesterday is my uncle").
