WHICH - WHO - THAT Who: come e quando usarlo Una regola fondamentale da ricordare, per essere sicuro di

utilizzare “who” nel modo corretto, è che esso si usa solo quando ci riferiamo alle persone, mai alle cose. People who live in Italy are friendly The woman who lives next the door is a veterinarian. Nella maggior parte dei casi “who” può essere sostituito da “that”, tranne che nel seguente: quando l’obiettivo della proposizione relativa non è quello di fare una precisazione sulla persona prima menzionata, ma quello di fornire maggiori dettagli al riguardo. 

My sister Sarah, who lives in New York, is an actress. Tim, who speaks French and German, is the best applicant for the job.

Which: come e quando usarlo “Which”, a differenza di “who”, viene usato solo in

riferimento alle cose. Where is the cheese which was in the fridge? Ikea is a company which makes affordable furniture. Puó sempre essere sostituito da that, tranne in un caso dove è obbligatorio adottarlo:

quando la proposizione relativa non specifica la cosa menzionata, ma fornisce informazioni extra al riguardo. 

John told me about his new job, which he’s enjoying very much. We stayed at the Ritz Hotel, which is higly recommended. se viene preceduto da una preposizione come about, without, to, with, ecc… 

Fortunately we had a map, without which we would have got lost. con le costruzioni: all of/ most of/ some of/ many of/both of/ each of/ none of/ neither of/ ecc…



The recruiter asked me a lot of questions, most of which I couldn’t answer.

That: come e quando usarlo “That” è un pronome relativo più trasversale,

rispetto ai due precedenti, in quanto può essere utilizzato sia in riferimento alle persone che alle cose. Per questo motivo, in molti casi può essere usato in sostituzione di “who”, se i soggetti sono degli individui, o di “which”, se sono oggetti. In genere, è il pronome relativo più usato quando si fa

riferimento alle cose. I know a lot of people that live in California. I don’t like sweets that are made with cinnamon. Questo pronome viene utilizzato anche in sostituzione a “what”, quando indica il concetto “le cose che”. What happened was only your fault. Everything that happened was only your fault (non Everything what happened…).
