The relative que: the all-purpose 'that/which/who'
Que links a clause to any noun, person or thing, and is never omitted: el libro que leí, la persona que llamó.
grammarA2, B1v0.1.0
Erklärung
Que is the default relative for subjects and direct objects, regardless of gender, number, or humanness: la casa que compramos, el cliente que escribió.
Unlike English, Spanish never drops it: 'the movie I saw' = la película que vi. After short prepositions, article + que appears: la empresa en la que trabajo.
