What is the difference between "which" and "that" ?
Hello my friends.
According to the famous English grammar book(Advanced Grammar in Use),
"That" can also be used to add information for "a noun phrase", but "which" can not.
"That's the conflict between two European countries that can not probably be resolved."
This sentence tells us: " The conflict between two European countries can not be resolved."
That refers the whole noun phrase.
but
"That's the conflict between two European countries which can not probably be resolved."
That sentence is not good because "which" can refer to the noun before itself. That's not good.
