Which vs.That 🇬🇧 TEST YOUR ENGLISH!

[balz]

"Which" - is used for clause that's "tanggalable ", meaning it can be omitted, with the used of two comas. Nonetheless the whole context of the sentence won't change.
Unlike "That" -it is used for clause with important context of the sentence. If it's omitted, the meaning of the sentence/context will change.

[citizenoftheworld]

"That" doesn't go between commas or isn't used in non-defining relative clauses and can replace "which" in defining relative clauses, which means (here "which" referes to the whole previous sentence), wherever "that" goes "which" can be used too, but not the other way round. Of course there are exceptions. After something/ anything/ nothing, only "that" can be used. There's nothing (that) I can do about it. Or after the superlative form of adjectives. That was the best movie (that) I've ever seen!

Aside testing of skills, there should be an explanation given to an educational material, such as this video. A big thank you to everyone in the comment section who gave an explanation for better understanding.

Maybe u can explain when we use which and when we use that, not only give us tests. It will more helpfull. Because I also come to ur channel to study not only to test my skill 🤧

If the sentence can break into 3 parts, we use “which”. If the sentence is only consist of 2 parts, we use “that” to combine the both.

I'm a native speaker and I got half of these wrong... I understand that the answers given here are "correct" but in some cases they actually sound less natural. Languages are constantly evolving so don't be intimidated by English's confusing rules!

[Entertainment-ffmj]

The difference between ( which and that ) is :
There is no need to use [ which ] in the sentence, so it is put it between two comas. ( it describes things both subjects and objects ).
It is necessary to use [ that ] in the sentence, so there is no need to delete it and there is no need to put it between two comas .
) it also describes both subjects and objects) .
Thank you .

in spoken language n informal you can use that, instead of which

[FacundoGonzalez-hdfs]

For anyone wondering, the sentences are examples of defining and non-defining relative clauses. Non-defining relative clauses give you extra information about the preceding noun, and they either go after a comma or between commas. For example:
“The car, which I bought yesterday, cost a lot.”
Defining relative clauses give you essential information about the noun, and they never go between commas. For example:
“That is the man who I saw yesterday.”
Relative clauses use relative pronouns: which (used for things), who (for people), where (for places), when (to talk about time), whose (for possession), and “that, ” which can be used instead of “which, ” “where” and “who.” For example:
That is the man that I saw yesterday.
The rule, though, is that the relative pronoun “that” cannot be used in non-defining relative clauses, which is why it cannot come after a comma. In the video, however, in the second and last sentence “which” was also an option.

"Which" can go in all the sentences where he said "that" was right, the difference is that "which" is more formal, for example, "where's the dress that/which I let you borrow". When there is a comma before, you can only use "which".

[Gatosyperros]

"That" is used to indicate a specific object, item, person, condition, etc., while "which" is used to add information to objects, items, people, situations, etc. Because "which" indicates a non-restrictive (optional) clause, it is usually set off by commas before "which" and at the end of the clause.

[ferencnagy]

The video does not contain explanation of the usage of these two conjuctions.

[vinicus]

I got the all right using the “what feels right” technique lmao

[davidostrowski]

it really doesn't matter re subject or object. which is for things, who is for people, that can be used for both. that is more informal and if a sentence makes sense without that, don't use it. grammar rules and reality are often different so as a learner don't worry about it.

[luasin]

Tell us the rules to use them as well. I couldn't get all of them correct and I really want to learn.

[adaramirez]

Muchas Gracias!!! Estudié en Brighton. Más estoy aprendiendo mucho más contigo 😊. Feliz Año 2023.

[RadhaCooks]

Whatever we say who, which, that and this, it represents the previous one. For example, I'm talking to my father, who is also my best friend.
Here who represents Father.
One more example, I'm going to super market, which is near to my house.
Here which represents super market. So remember when we talk about these things, we need to consider the preceding ones...
Thank you!

Subordinate clause starts with 'that' if the main clause becomes meaningless without the remaining part of sentence. Use ' which' in subordinate clause if the part of sentence if removed doesn't impact meaning of sentence- > meaning which part of sentence is auxiliary or just supporting the main clause but is optional. In short use that if sentence becomes meaningless without the subordinate clause and use which if subordinate clause provide non essential auxiliary support to main clause.

Did anyone notice that Sarah is a He 🤣😅😂? "Sarah ate the last piece of cake that HE was saving in the fridge "
