A puzzling question
You had better make up your mind on.....you need to buy.
a) what b) which
I go for 'what'. Isn't 'which' correct here. too? I would be grateful if you gave me the reason.
Top answer
If you use 'which' you are suggesting there is a specific choice that you are aware of. For instance, is it going to be that one, or the other one? However, 'what' means that there is no specific choice.
