🔤 Grammar Tip: Know When to Use Who, Whose and Whom and Not That

That vs. Who, Whose and Whom

“I hear people say “that” for other people all the time. “Who” is for people; “that” is for everything else.

The hack: Who and whom are for humans. Think human — who-man.

Examples:

The people who work here are nice.

John is the guy to whom my friend is married. (Not: John is the guy that my friend is married to.)

The book that she’s reading looks good.”
