Ever wondered if you should say “the person who...” or “the person that...”? Let’s clear that up once and for all 👇
Who is used when you're talking about people. It introduces a clause that gives more information about a person.
If the noun you're talking about is a person or group of people, use who.
That is used for things, animals, and sometimes groups (like teams or companies). It's more general and often used in informal speech.
Use that when the subject is not a person — or when you're talking about a group as a unit.
Who = people.
That = everything else.
