Who / whom / whose → people | Which → things | That → people or things

Teaching Notes
Teach who vs. whom using the he/him substitution trick. Read the clause aloud substituting he or him — whichever sounds natural tells you who vs. whom. Spend extra time on that vs. which using essential vs. non-essential clause contrast.
