My student question (2)
There is no one but commits errors.
Why do we use "but " as relative ?
Thanks!

Your sentence does not use "but" correctly.
"But" can be used to emphasize _impossibility_. For example, you can say
"one cannot but notice that it is going to rain soon"
to emphasize the impossibility of not noticing that it is going to rain soon".
A correct way to write your sentence is:
"One cannot but commit errors."
"One" is much better than "no one" because "no one" needlessly introduces a double negative.

We don't. This sentence is wrong.
I think "There is no one who doesn't commit errors." is what the sentence means.
