Identify Relative Clauses
Are the following correct?
1 There is a part of me which/that is capable of ... BOTH THAT and WHICH
2 He's someone that/whom you like. BOTH THAT and WHOM or Leave it out
3 He's someone that/whom likes you. BOTH
How come in 3 you can leave out THAT and in 2 you can, What's the explanation other than it doesn't sound right?
4 Have you got anything that/which belongs to me BOTH
5 The only thing that/which matters is to... BOTH
6 I hope that the little that the little that/which I've been able to do has been of some use. BOTH or leave it out.
How come you can leave THAT or WHICH out in 6 and not the rest???
Thank you

3 He's someone that/whom likes you. BOTH Only that. Whom isn't possible since the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause.
