| Sometimes Russian learners misuse the pronoun 'who' in compound relative clauses.
The reason is that when 'who' refers to one person, the following predicate is in singular, whereas when it is followed by a plural noun, the following predicate is in plural as well.
I have got a friend who always tells me funny stories.
I have got a few friends who always tell me funny stories.
So, the sentence below has got this mistake:
'Talking about reducing pain, I know that the smell of roses can help people who suffers from head aches'.
