 **  here, "funds" is an object of the present participle adjective "using" (verb acting like an adjective)
 *** thus, "using" and "funds" are a modifying phrase to describe "project"
+=== personal v. relative pronoun ===
+* personal pronoun
+** = ''I, me, you, he/she/it, him/her, we/us, they/them''
+** personal pronouns act as a subject or object of a sentence or preposition:
+*** subjective case: ''I, you, he/she/it, we, they''
+*** objective case: ''me, you, him/her/it, us, them''
+**** note that the noun in a preposition is an object, so it uses the objective case
+***** ex.  "''the girl next to me''", "t''he desk between you and me''"
+* relative pronoun
+** = a pronoun that creates a conjunction between an independent and a dependent or relative clause
+** include: ''that, when, where, which, who, whom, whose''
+*** "who" relative pronouns have subjective, objective and possessive cases
+**** subjective: ''who''
+**** objective ''whom''
+**** possessive: ''whose''
+==== personal and relative pronouns and prepositional phrases ====
+* ex., "''of which''", "''of whom''" v. "''of them''"
+** the preposition "of" creates a relationship
+** the personal pronoun "them" is the object of a preposition:
+*** ''The players took off their jerseys, and only two '''of them''' were dirty''
+*** ''Most of the jerseys used by the players were clean, but two '''of them''' were dirty''
+**** "two" = the subject
+**** "of them" = prepositional phrase, with "them" the object of the preposition
+***** "them" refers to "jerseys"
+** the relative pronoun, "which" or "whom"  creates a relative clause and acts as the subject of that clause:
+*** "''The players took off their jerseys, '''which''' were almost all perfectly clean''"
+**** "which" = the subject of the relative clause
+**** "which" refers to "jerseys"
+*** "''The game was one by five players, of whom we are most proud''
+**** "we" = subject of the relative clause
+**** "of whom" = prepositional phrase (adverbial as it modifies "are")
+**** "whom" refers to "the players"
