Filling gaps with a suitable word
Please, could you help me?
1. The students said goodbye to the teacher __________ left.
One suitable word is and. What about who, is it the second answer?
2. I went to my sister's house __________ she wasn't at home.
Here one suitable word is but. What about when, is it the second answer?
If the second answers are not correct, please explain why. Thank you in advance.

lia lilia What about who No. The teacher who left is no longer there for the students to say goodbye to. If there were a comma after "teacher", "who" would be right.
