Tara2 All the stores (that/which/who) are in the street are closed this afternoon. Use 'that' because 'stores' are not people. You can use 'which' if you want something more formal.

  • Tara2 All the stores (that/which/who) are in the street are closed this afternoon.
  • Use 'that' because 'stores' are not people.
  • You can use 'which' if you want something more formal.
  • You can omit 'that are' / 'which are': All the stores in the street ...
  • That's also possible for other forms of be ( is, was, were ).
