Two slides from the lesson

Warm-up

Let's talk about phones and famous companies.

1. What was your first phone? Do you remember it?
2. Which company makes the best phones, in your opinion?
3. Who is a famous businessperson from your country?

Grammar rule

who, which and that

which person? which thing?

	Example
People: who	Paul was a mechanic who loved old cars.
Things: that or which	The iPod was a music player that could hold 1,000 songs. Apple makes products which are simple.

The who / that part comes right after the noun, and it tells us more about it. In conversation, that is fine for people too: a mechanic that loved old cars.

Don't add he, she or it: not a mechanic who he loved cars, not a phone that it had no keys.

The verb matches the noun: a person who works · people who work. The grammar lesson practices all of this.
