| The first is correct. It would be improved by the word "The" at the beginning. |

Relative pronoun: that plural and singular who plural and singular which plural and singular
Conjunction: that (there is no number) |

Demonstrative pronoun: I like those/these girls over there/here. Why is that/this girl still crying? (These and this are used when something is closer to the speaker, those and that for farther away.)
Relative pronoun: Parrots that ask questions should be fried and eaten. (for things or persons) Your mother, who eats parrots, is rather silly. (for persons) I like red books, which are easier to spot. (for things)
Conjunction: I told her that I was not happy to see her.
This is by no means a complete overview; Google for pages on the different pronouns. |
