What is the difference between using "that" & "which" in a relative clause?
489151
'Which' should be used between commas, as in:\nThe book, which I left on the table, is blue.\nIt's used to give additional information about the object but not necessarily to differentiate it from other objects.  It's as if there were only one book anyway, so people already know exactly which book your referring to.  The 'which I left on the table' is just to give extra info.\n\n'That' should be used when there are no commas, as in:\nThe book that I left on the table is blue.\nHere, the clause 'that I left on the table' is needed to differentiate this book from all the others.  Which book are you referring to?  The one on the table.\n\nIncidentally, for people you use 'who' or 'whom' when employing a relative clause.

Well...it actually is debatable, but I'd go with "was" to be on the safe side...\n\nWith either/or (neither/nor) things that contain subjects that take different verb forms, there is no definitive agreement on which form the verb should take.\n\nA majority, however, says that you should follow the subject that is closest to the verb, in this case " I ", so, since:\n\nI WAS asking for refills --> Neither you nor I was asking for refills.\n\nA minority say that the verb should always be singular in these cases, and an even smaller minority say that either verb form is acceptable.\n\nSo your best bet to avoid the ire of an anal-retentive English teacher (or professor, editor, yourself, etc.) is to go with the "closest to the verb" rule, in this case WAS.

Both sentences are grammatically correct when examined alone.\n\nThe first is talking about a situation in the present.  You would use this expression when you give a gift to someone.\n\nThe second is talking about a future situation.  You would use this expression when you were talking about a movie that the other person plans to see in the future.

This means the sentences are in the passive tense, rather than the preferred, active tense.\n\nExample:\n\n"This was the one that I had wanted." - passive\n\n"I wanted this one." - active\n\nMost of the time, active tense is preferred.

To determine whether who or whom should be used in a sentence, at least according to traditional usage, many people may find it easier to recast the sentence in non-interrogative form using a personal pronoun and determine whether they would use he or she (subjects) or him or her (direct and indirect objects) instead of who or whom. For example in determining:\n\nWho did you call? versus Whom did you call? \nthis yields:\n\nincorrect -- *You called she. \ncorrect -- You called her. \nSince the former sentence is a solecism, this sentence calls for whom rather than who.\n\nHowever, in determining:\n\nWho shall I say is calling? versus Whom shall I say is calling? \nthis yields:\n\ncorrect -- I shall say she is calling. \nincorrect -- *I shall say her is calling. \nindicating that who is appropriate for this question. (The incorrect form *Whom shall I say is calling? would be an example of hypercorrection resulting from a confused attempt to follow prescriptive grammar.)\n\nBasically, whom is used whenever there is no verb to be in an inflected form referring to it. Thus:\n\nHe was the man whom we later learnt to be a constable. \nHe was the man who we later learnt was a constable. \nHe was the man whom we thought a constable. \nWho will come? \nAlso, whom is the form used whenever there are prepositions involved. Again this is anologous to personal pronouns, for which the object form is also used after a preposition. For example:\n\nTo whom have you been talking? (Compare: You have been talking to him.) \nFor whom have you taken these marvellous photographs? \nWith whom are you going to the cinema? \nWe have been discussing plans with them, of whom we have grown rather fond these days. \nWe have been discussing plans with them, whom we have grown rather fond of these days. \nThe indirect object is normally formed with to, so is generally just a particular example of the usage with prepositions (to whom). In some situations, whom can also be used by itself to represent the indirect object. However this is only really used in contexts where the direct object is omitted, e.g. Whom will you tell? Where the direct object is expressed, to is generally included, even where an analogous sentence using a personal pronoun might use the pronoun as the indirect object, e.g. You will tell him a story but To whom will you tell a story?\n\nThe same rules apply to declined pronouns whomever and whomsoever.

I say "that" because "that" is a very common word. I probably use the word "that" alot in one day. So "that" is why I say "that"

From an English point of view, it can be kind of complicated.\n\nYou use "qui" when it replaces the subject of a dependent clause.  For example.  "I saw a boat which travels on the sea."  You would ask yourself what is the subject of the verb "travels."  It is not stated in the second clause ("which travels on the sea"), so you would translate "which" as "qui":  J'ai vu un bateau qui voyage sur la mer.\n\nYou use "que" to replace the direct object of a verb.  "I saw a mouse which the cat ate."  In the second clause ("which the cat ate"), the subject is the cat, but the direct object is only known by the previous clause, so you translate "which" as "que":  J'ai vu la souris que le chat a mangée."\n\n(Note:  In the English examples, "which" could be replaced by "that" but the French translations wouldn't change.)\n\nIf it still seems complicated, or if what I wrote is just confusing, maybe you should just look at lots of examples that are in your textbook and somehow make sense out of them.  French grammar is tough.  Good luck!

[All I did]\nThe phrase inside the square brackets is the subject of the sentence. It consists of a pronoun, "all," and a relative clause, "(that) I did." Note that the relativizer "that" is optional. In your version of the sentence, it has been omitted.\n\n[was review] \n"Was review" is the verb.  [Was]is an auxiliary verb in the sentence.  "Was" is used with the infinitive of the verb "Review" to express intention, obligation, or future action: "what we covered in class."\n\n"what we covered in class" can be thought of as a noun clause.\n\nI hope this helps!

You can use against which in a sentence; ie, The injustice against which the protesters were rallying continued to increase in prominence\n\nHowever, in your case, the use of against which is not correct; something like "the money for which the farmers hoped was not forthcoming."

ask the verb the question whom or what.if you get an answer the verb is transitive.otherwise intransitive.\ni ran fast\ni ran whom \nI ran what no answer so intransitive\ni ran a private taxi\ni ran what answer a private taxi.here the verb ran is transitive\nhe hit sue.\nhe hit whom? answer sue.so the verb is transitive\ni gave him a pencil.\ni gave what,a pencil\ni gave whom him\ntherefore the verb gave is transitive\nif it answers the question what it is said to take a direct object\nif it answers whom,indirect object\ni am giving only thumb rules\nby no means this is an exhaustive treatise

This has to be an adverbial prepositional phrase, because it tells where they went.  "The students went" is the backbone of the sentence: "students" is the subject, and "went" is the verb.  Where did they go?  On a skiing trip.  \n\nThere are a few good questions to ask when you see a prepositional phrase.  If you can answer "when" or "how" then you know it is adverbial, because adverbs are words of time and they tell how something was done.  If your phrase is more descriptive, and cannot answer "when" or "how" then it is an adjective.  \n\nHope this helps.  Cheers, K (teacher 14 years)
