Hi guys,

I've got a question about the personal pronoun "who" as it is used in non-defining relative clauses in English.

Which sentence is correct English:

"You, who seems to be a nice guy, play a lot of computer games."

or

"You, who seem to be a nice guy, play a lot of computer games."

That is, does the "who" take on the properties of the subject in the main clause (second person singular in this case), or is it always third person?

Let's leave aside for a moment the fact that the construction above is probably quite awkward either way. But we Germans just love relative sentences, and no language in the world will stop us producing them!

If admin and mods don't object, feel free to use this thread for your own questions on English grammar. But please only after my question is answered.

Thanks for answers!
