Learn English – ‘Who is who’ or ‘Which is which’

word-choice

Read this sentence:

There are good people who will help you. There are bad people who'll cheat you. But you never know who is who or which is which?

My vote is for 'who is who' but then if I think twice, 'which is which' also fits! I'm confused.

Best Answer

You’ll never know which one is good and which one is bad.

Edit:

You also can say:

Who is bad and who is good.

In first case you will have a more precise reference, in the second is more general, because who may be singular or plural, while which one is precise.
