who/which

0Hi there!02br
02br
00A couple of days ago I sent an essay in the writing forum. I was corrected for having written "which" instead of "who".02br
02br
00The sentence was something like: "The people which go..." or somethig like that (by the way: how can I say "something like that" in a different way, not to repeat myself?).02br
02br
00I was told that "which" can't be used for people/person's nouns.02br
02br
00If you have other samples to make, or any explanation to give me: please, it would help me to understand better and make me feel sure. 02br
02br
00...Also, you are welcome to correct my post, if it's necessary!,.02br
02br
00Thank you very much for your help,02br
