What's the difference between THAT and WHICH? Can you give me some examples?

17 ago 2020 23:15

Now that's a tough one. Here's a standard explanation: "That" is used to indicate a specific object, item, person, condition, etc., while "which" is used to add information to objects, items, people, situations, etc. Because "which" indicates a non-restrictive (optional) clause, it is usually set off by commas before "which" and at the end of the clause.

In addition, I do know that sentences can and are constructed with both words in succession, for example:

That which made it possible for her was finally recognized.

That which made old age enviable was eventually achieved.

That which is disposable should always be binned.
