That or Which

Hi,

Can someone tell me where "which" and "That" must be used? Are there any rules to follow?

Thanks
Kanishka.

To begin with, as relative pronouns, "which" can only replace things, whereas "that" can peplace both things and persons.

Hi kanishka,

I hope you don't mind my quoting another moderator:
If the 'which' clause adds new information about the noun it relates to, put a comma.

If the 'which' clause defines the noun it relates to, don't. (You can use 'that' instead of 'which' in such cases.)


Hope it helps
