•The boy that you met this morning is Takashi.

Answer:

When writing a restrictive clause, introduce it with the word "that" and no comma. However, if the subject is or was a human being, use "who" to introduce the clause. When talking about people in defining (restrictive) relative clauses, who is preferred to that.
