“He’s the kind of doctor that volunteers at a clinic on his day off.”Įven though the previous sentence is technically correct, it’s usually best to maintain a distinction between people and not-people by using who in reference to a type of person: “He’s the kind of doctor who volunteers at a clinic on his day off.” (The use of that in association with people itself, however, is well attested, as in “I don’t like the kind of people that she hangs out with.”) But a class of people is always considered a thing, not a person, so a sentence like “This is a team who is going places” is never correct. That refers mostly to things, though a class or type of person is also sometimes referred to by this pronoun: ( Whose is sometimes used to refer to an object, as in “Notice the car whose headlights are off.” This awkward usage should be replaced by, for example, “Notice the car that has its headlights off” or, better, “Notice the car with its headlights off.”) That “The person whose jacket was left behind is the likely culprit.” “Whom you associate with is your concern.” Who and whom refer only to people, and whose almost always does so: The question of which of the three words to use in a given context vexes some writers here’s an explanation of their relative roles. The proper use of the relative pronouns who, that, and which relate the subject of a sentence to its object, hence the name.
