1- You might be tempted by the "which/that" rules. "who" can be used for both restrictive and non-restrictive clauses. 2- Use "marks" for an event that happens every year, past, present and future.

  • 1- You might be tempted by the "which/that" rules.
  • "who" can be used for both restrictive and non-restrictive clauses.
  • 2- Use "marks" for an event that happens every year, past, present and future.
  • However, the adverb (Wednesday) limits it to a particular year, which we assume is in the near future, so use the future.
  • 3- I would prefer "by," but "from" is acceptable.
