Hi teachers,
I saw a sentence in an image on facebook; There are people we meet in life that makes everything seem magical.View attachment 1676
In the sentence, I think the word "makes" should be "make" because it modifies "(that)people" and "with" should be added after "meet" or "life".
What is your opinion?
Thanks.
I don't think that 'that' is wrong.1) It should be "who" not "that" (because it refers to people).

So "that" is used only for things and animals? I am pretty confused about that.
This is mostly about personal preference. "That" can be used for people, but "who" is more common. Many people, including me, often use "who" for animals.
Till now I knew that only "which" (also "that") is used only for animals and things and "who"(also "that" sometimes) is used for people. But right now I knew that "who" is also used for animal.

It depends on the animal- a pet is very different from a cockroach. I could use who for a pet.
Some people use 'he', 'she' and 'who' of their pet animals.Considering the points of Mike and Tdol, do you mean "who" is used for animals but not for all kinds of animals? don't you?

No one talked about my other point, i.e putting "with" after the word "meet" or "life"; like this "There are people we meet with in life who can make everything seem magical." or "There are people we meet in life with who make everything seem magical." I raised this point because the proposition sometimes comes after "meet".
