FOCUS ON HIGH-FREQUENCY USAGE: who that which – 95% of the
time
who – used for people, any people, sounds nice,
sounds polite and respectful
that- things that are not alive, animals, people
(sounds a little disrespectful, you don’t that person)
SUBTLETY IN ENGLISH, signal your opinion of a person:
The guy that my sister married is odd. adjective
clause
The man who my other sister married is awesome. adjective
clause
‘that’ is a multiuse word in English
Who is that? Not an adjective clause, sounds polite
Who is that woman you were talking to?
That is a beautiful baby!
Is that your son? -sounds ok
FOCUS –‘that’ in adjective clauses
which- special things (special to you), unique things
This is a watch that I bought last week. not special
I really like the watch which my dad gave me for my 18th
birthday. special
witch – a magical woman
wedding ring – which
necklace that your grandmother gave you – which
toothbrush – that
glasses- that
which- unique thing- Great Wall of China, Tokyo, Dehli, the
Eiffel Tower
REVIEW: who
that which
EXAMPLES
who- people
My neighbour who is very elderly does not like
my son to play in the backyard.
who is very
elderly adj cl SV
Jun’s sister who lives
in Spain is a nurse.
Jun’s sister that lives
in Spain is a nurse. SOUNDS STRANGE, Don’t use ‘that’ for a person.
COMMON ERROR:
Jun’s sister who lives
in Spain. sentence fragment, not a
complete
Jun’s sister who lives in Spain . verb missing
FIX
Jun’s sister who lives in Spain loves dogs.
Jun’s sister who lives in Spain she loves dogs. XXX
Jun’s sister lives
in Spain. SIMPLE
*In a sentence with an adjective clause, you have to say two
things, two SV, 2 clauses- one independent and one dependent
Jun’s sister who lives in Spain is a nurse. 1 2
The phone that she bought was not expensive.
1 2
Adjective clauses get tricky
DEEPER LEVEL
Subject and object pronouns
My sister who is
a nurse lives in Spain. ‘who’ is a subject pronoun
My sister who you
met last week is a nurse. ‘who’ is an
object pronoun
object pronoun – options- leave it or omit it, or use ‘whom’
My sister who you
met last week is a nurse.
My sister you met
last week is a nurse.
My sister whom you
met last week is a nurse.
My sister, a nurse, lives in Spain. appositive, not an adj
cl
that – animals, things, people we don’t like or don’t
respect (rare)

‘who’ sounds strange for animals
Shirin got a new phone that has a seven-inch screen.
I met the guy that Joanne is seeing now. -sounds like
don’t like him
The guy that my sister married is a bit of a clown.
a clown - a loser

a bit of a – a little bit
My friend is a bit of a drama queen.
drama queen- big emotions all the time, like an actor,
dramatic, big show, like a soap opera

The guy who my sister married is coming over for a
visit. – secret message- like him-

object pronoun
OPTIONS
The guy that my sister
married is a bit of a clown.
The guy my sister married
is a bit of a clown.
The guy whom my sister
married is a bit of a clown. UNUSUAL-
VERY FORMAL
SOURCE OF CONFUSION ‘that’ is used in many ways
-noun clauses
-adjective clauses
-a pronoun
multi-use word, confusing
Examples
That sandwich was delicious. pronoun
The sandwich that she made was very tasty. adj cl
I think that that sandwich was scrumptious. noun
clause, pronoun
She thinks that that sandwich that you made
was so good that she wants to have another one.
confusing, not good writing, grammar is fine

*which – special things, unique things

thing to me

gave to her.

gave to her. (sounds like a regular necklace, not special)
