The relative pronoun that is used with an essential clause, and the relative pronoun which is used with a nonessential clause. In 3–5 sentences, explain when to use each pronoun and the difference between the two types of relative clauses.
The relative pronoun "that" is used with essential clauses, also known as restrictive clauses, which are necessary for the sentence's meaning to be complete. These clauses provide essential information that cannot be omitted without changing the sense of the sentence. For example, "The book that I bought yesterday is excellent." Here, the clause "that I bought yesterday" is necessary to identify which book is being referred to.
On the other hand, the relative pronoun "which" is used with nonessential clauses, also known as non-restrictive clauses, which provide additional information but do not change the sentence's core meaning if omitted. These clauses are often set off with commas. For example, "The book, which was recommended by my friend, is excellent." In this case, "which was recommended by my friend" provides extra information about the book, but it can be removed without affecting the main point of the sentence.
The key difference between essential and nonessential clauses is that essential clauses are crucial to the sentence's meaning and cannot be omitted, while nonessential clauses provide additional detail but are not necessary for the sentence's core meaning.
