Grammar
novels which - VS - novels that
Hello,
Are both sentences right?
( A ) I must say that I haven’t read novels which use complicated English words.
( B ) I must say that I haven't read novels that use complicated English words.
I have always thought that I can use which and that interchangeably in that context. A native English speaker told me that only B is right.
Thank you very much,
Spoonfedbaby

I'd say that yes, both can be used, but "that" is better because it is a defining relative pronoun, in a defining relative clause.
