Who or That? Relative Pronouns


Who or That? Relative PronounsOnline version Learn when to use who vs that in relative clauses by Nicole G Alex Today we’re exploring relative pronouns: who and that. Sam I know we use who for people, right? Alex Yes. Use who for people: ‘The student who opened the door is my friend.’ Sam What about objects? Do we use who or that? Alex For objects, use that: ‘The book that I read was amazing.’ Sam Can we mix both in one sentence? Alex Sometimes yes. ‘The teacher who/that inspired me...' works with who or that, but who is for people. Sam Are there any rules about punctuation with these clauses? Alex If the clause is essential (defining), no commas: ‘The student who won...’ If non-essential (non-defining), add commas: ‘Maria, who won...’ Sam Got it. So choose who for people and that for things or groups, and watch punctuation.
