👉 Is there a difference between Which and That?

@ingliztiliuzz

☝️😯 We use “that” when we refer to people, animals, and things. We use “which” when we refer to animals and things.
If the clause is restrictive, you need to use the relative pronoun that, without it, the meaning would be unclear.

For example

✍️ The car that he bought is very expensive.

Here we are being specific about the price of the car he bought. Without it, the sentence would lose its original meaning and purpose.

☝️😯 Use pronoun which when a clause is non-restrictive. Meaning that you are not being specific but instead you are adding extra information to a sentence. A comma usually accompanies this as it denotes a pause in speech and it always precedes which.

For example

✍️ He bought a car, which is very expensive.

Here we are referring to him buying a car, not how expensive the car was. If we remove the clause, “which is very expensive,” it would have no effect on the sentence and still make sense. It serves to add further information only.
