Some more clues about relative pronouns:

Which or that can both refer to things, but when the antecedent is modified by words such as very, only, the first, the last, etc. or the antecedent itself is an infinitive like all, everything, nothing or anything, or the antecedent is modified by an ordinal number or a superlative adjective, we usually use that instead of which.

e.g. This is the best food that I’ve ever had!

There is only one lake that hasn’t been polluted yet.

I’ve known everything that I need to know.

Who and that can both refer to people, but when the antecedents are the words like one, ones, anyone, those, or when the sentence is There be… structure, we use who instead of that.

•There are 5 of us who don’t know the way at all.

•Anyone who has different ideas may put up

your hand.

•Those who don’t have tickets must leave at

once.

That can both refer to people and things, but

when the antecedent has both people and

things we only use that.

The little boy and his dog that you saw just

now live in the same neighborhood with us.
