Hello there. Apparently "WHICH" cannot be used for "people" But only "things" Instead "WHO" Is used. But in the question "which supermodel turned 18..." how can we use "WHO" Plz? I heard of it in an interview and it's been bothering me ever since. Kindly help me understand it. 🙏🙏

I don’t know who told you this nonsense – “which“ can always be used for people if we are choosing between them, or trying to identify a specific one for a specific reason.

Which Kardashian sister has the most money?
Which of your brothers do you like the best?

No problems.

When “which” begins a relative clause, it usually doesn’t refer to a person. However, when it begins a question, it can. It’s basically like asking “which one”.

You can probably also ask that question with “who”, but I would need to see all of it to determine how to phrase it.

You would not say:

"The supermodel, which turned 18, is now in Paris."

You would say:

"Which supermodel is in Paris?"
