English Grammar Basics: That vs Which

Do you get confused when choosing whether to use "that" or "which?" They both sound sort of okay in everyday language. But there is a technical difference, which we explain in this video! It all comes down to restrictive relative clauses vs non-restrictive relative clauses. Not sure what those are? Don't worry! By the end of this video, you'll be an expert.

Honestly, thank you for that video.
As a German, I never really understood the difference between "which" and "that", I never really was told a good explanation in school and the ones I was told differed depending who the teacher was.
Now studying, I am reading an English study which caused me noticing a lot relative that and made me wondering about the difference compared to which.
After having checked grammar books, a couple of websites and videos, you video is the only one giving an explanation everyone can understand.
Again, thank you.

I wanted to resist verbal appreciation but now I have decided to succumb to this temptation. I found this series of the grammar playlist in 2020 when there was nothing other than the quarantine - and I am loving it. I never thought of these differences in the first place and whenever I noticed also, I was intimated by the sheer complexity. I never thought that these intractable topics will lend themselves to dissection so easily.
