Subject:Re: That vs. for which From:"David M. Brown" <dmbrown -at- brown-inc -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 01 Nov 2000 07:37:13 -0800
The "that" vs. "which" line is easy to draw.
Use "which" when the following words are parenthetical, as in:
The car, which is yellow, is over there.
Use "that" when the following words define a specific entity, as in:
The car that struck the bicyclist is over there.
