My grammar books say that the pronoun THAT should be used after superlatives in relative clauses or after only, first, second. I am wondering if I can use who or which in these sentences. 1. He was the most interesting person that/ /WHO/WHOM I have ever met. 2. It is the first house that/WHICH he bought.

"Who", "whom", and "that" all can serve as relative pronouns and can be used to introduce clauses that give additional information about whatever they refer to. Thus all the possibilities in #1 are correct. In #2, "that" and "which" are both grammatically correct but you should probably only use "which" in a situation where a selection (among) houses is referenced. For example: "Jim owns three houses. Two of them were given to him and he bought one of them. The first house he acquired is the one which he bought."

Hello Zoe, to answer your question, no the pronoun 'that' cannot be used here because it is a relative pronoun that begins a relative clause. for example: 'The little boy, that was swimming in the lake, is my son.' I hope this helps

1. He was the most interesting person (that) I have ever met. - optional 2. The person who stole my money, please confess. 3. To whom does this belong?
