AnonymousHi, I have some questions.

I know the/a man who took this picture. - Only one person took the picture, so use "the."

She is the/a teacher that I like the best. - There is only one "best-liked teacher," so use "the."

He has the/a friend whose father is a doctor. - This one can do either way. If you have already told the listener about a friend you have whose father is a doctor, and you want to say that this person is that previously descrbied friend, use "the." If this friend (and his father's occupation) are new information to the listener, then use "a."

Which one is good or ~~more~~ better?

Thaks in advance.

Hi - remember that capital letters are an important part of the correct use of English.

Thank you for your help.

but I still have some questions.

She is the teacher I like best.

Tom is the/a man who I think can speak English well.

BarbaraPA · Answer

If you have already told someone about "a man you think speaks English well" and then you mention Tom, you can add "Tom is the man who I think speaks English well."

If you have never spoken of this man before, but you mention Tom, and someone says "Who is Tom" you can explain who he is by saying "Tom is a man who I think speaks English well."
