Which or That
I have question about "Which" and "That", when we should use "Which" and when we should use "That"?, the other words at the sentence below could i replace "Which" to "That" and why?
"He uses a word which means the way someone interprets something they see or hear"
"He uses a word which means the way someone interprets something they see or hear"

mirmohamad He uses a word which means the way someone interprets something they see or hear. For restrictive clauses like yours above, 'that' is used much more often than 'which', but both are correct. For non-restrictive clauses you'll need 'which', never 'that'.
