Dear all,
Just wanted to see how many different strategies or rather, general "rules of thumb" there are out there for deciding whether "which" or "that" should be used in any given sentence.
Personally; I like to think of "which" as introducing a subordinate clause that modifies the noun preceding it. "That" would be a pronoun which must be followed by a modifier illustrating how it is different to the antecedent.
Please feel free to correct my above idea/thought and please do suggest any other "rules of thumb" that you found useful!
Much appreciated!
