*COMPLEX – independent clause + dependent clause
Three kinds of dependent clauses
1. adverb clause
2. noun clause
3. adjective clause
These are the basic that we have to practice regularly. We should never get away from it. If we lose sight of the basics, we are lost.
adjective clauses
who - people
that – things, animals
which – special or unique things
whom – not commonly used, low-frequency, forget it
The woman who lives next door is very friendly. adj cl
who lives next door ‘who’ is a subject pronoun
The woman who I was talking to is very friendly. adj cl
who I was talking to ‘who’ is an object pronoun
When we have ‘who’ as an object pronoun, we can say ‘whom’.
The woman who I was talking to is very friendly.
The woman whom I was talking to is very friendly. very formal, very fancy, nobody talks like that
The woman who I was talking to is very friendly. VERY NATURAL SOUNDING
The woman who I was talking to is very friendly. MOST AUTHENTIC
The woman I was talking to is very friendly. MOST AUTHENTIC AND SOUNDING
Your examples:
1. That young woman who was on the T.V is an angel. subject pronoun
2. The beautiful girl who lives in Toronto is very famous. subject or object pronoun? subject pronoun
3. The girl who lives on Knight Street is my friend. subject pronoun
4. The woman who I work with is very kind. object pronoun
Because it is an object pronoun, we have a few choices:

‘Who’ will always work for adjective clauses about people.
One exception about ‘whom’
when you are writing a business letter to someone whose name you don’t know.
To whom it may concern,
e.g. a recommendation letter
Confusion about ‘that’ – many uses in English
‘that’ noun clauses

She thinks that it will rain.
‘that’ adjective clauses
