Questions & Answers about Știu că angajatul care aplică vrea postul.

This sentence uses both că and care. Since they can both translate to 'that' in English, how do I know which one to use?
Use că to connect two full ideas, like 'I know THAT the employee wants the position.' Use care to replace a noun and describe it further, like 'the employee THAT applies.' Since English uses 'that' for both, you just have to ask yourself if the word is connecting two sentences (că) or replacing a noun (care).
Does care change its form if we are talking about a person versus an object?
No! When it is the subject of the action, care stays exactly the same whether it translates to 'who', 'which', or 'that'. It does not change for masculine, feminine, singular, or plural nouns either.
How do I know which form of the verb to use right after care?
You look at the noun that care is referring back to! Here, care stands in for angajatul (the employee). Because 'the employee' is a 'he' or 'she', you use the 'he/she' form of the verb, which is aplică.
The sentence order feels a bit tricky. What is the main action happening after 'I know that'?
The core idea is angajatul vrea postul (the employee wants the position). The relative clause care aplică (who applies) is just extra information tucked into the middle of the sentence right after the noun it describes.
