This lesson which I watched today was really perfect and helpful and that guy who wants to teach in english for other people named Alex is so friendly and helper,I suppose one day I'll learn this language thanks to you Dear Alex thanks for everything,so glad I've you
How nice to find someone who gets this correct for a change. There is so much wrong advice circulating on the internet and even in some grammar reference books and textbooks.
This video had been created before 11 years when i was 11 year old now i have watched because i was confuse between that and which thanks you sir... Keep going love From India ...
I really appreciate for this summarised lesson! I have got confused recently. Now, I solved my problems regarding this topic thanks to your assistance. 💙🌸
you engvid guys make things easier! you make the topic which confused me for so many yrs so easy to understand. it's amazing useful! thx u a lot, teacher
We can't find much difference in them while trying to understand, but I will tell you how one has to use them. Usually, we require them while writing a paragraph/an essay. As everybody knows that a paragraph is about one topic, and one has to focus on the same topic throughout the paragraph. However, in academic writing, you may have to divert something to give extra and out of the topic information. In this case, "which" should come into picture or else you are bound to use "that". Hope it helps
Can use both 'which' and 'that' to add an essential information to give more meaning to the sentence. Otherwise sentence would be incomplete. Can use 'which' when you add an extra sentence even though sentence do not need that extra information and it would make a perfect sense without it. Hope I got it right. Thank you!
Hi, we can take out " that and which" in both first two examples because they refer to the object not to the subject. This is what I learnt before, but now you change everything.
Very well explained. The main point is if the "which" adds necessary informtion to the frase, then it is no preceeded by a coma. As "that" can only be used for identifying clauses, all sentences with a non-indentifying clause REQUIERE the use of "which"
I think that the relative clause in the third sentence cannot be removed because there are 7 Harry Potter books and we don't know which one of the seven you finished last week. It's better to either say, "The Harry Potter series, which I finished last week, was excellent." or remove the commas and make it an identifying clause.
Thanks Alex , for your video and quiz , i attended the quiz and got a good score though, but i have one question for the very first question from the quiz. ques -which is correct .. 1-I saw a speeding car, which really startled me. 2- I saw a speeding car, that really startled me. i think "I saw a speeding car, which really startled me." is the correct one , bcoz "which really startled me" is a non-identifying clause . So using which should correct here. But quiz answer says "That" is correct one. Please explain a bit where i got wrong. Would really appreciate your comments ..
After I have finished watching yours. So I would like to practice English that I have learned now. "The clip which you made was so cool. Please correct me if I were wrong.
Great pieces of advice, Alex! You could've also given some examples with people being the subject in sentences with non-identifying clauses, in which case I believe there would be no room for "which", only for "who", right?
Thanks alex for this great lesson. quick question : sentences 3 " harry potter" why was an excellent book, is that necessary using past tense just wondering...
Best teacher 👨🏫 . Could you teach me about FOR WHICH. What is this? Either phrasal verb or something else . Please teach me according grammar point of view thanks kind regards
For identifying clauses (about things, not people), you can use "that" or "which," or not use them at all. For non identifying clauses (about things, not people), use always "which."
Hi Alex I have a question. Does “She stopped me from going ahead with the plan, which was really bad” mean that it was really bad that she stopped me, or does it mean that the plan was really bad? (Obviously if I’d used ‘that’ instead of ‘which’ it would be clear that it was the plan that was bad). thanks and regards please reply
thanks a lot for the lesson i have a question tho. so as from what i can tell if the information is worth mentioning use that if not use which (Btw i know it depends on the context but i meant in general) another thing if specific thing is mentioned in a sentence like this which one should i use (adidas is a company (that or which) provides stuff...... i've seen something like this and they say (which) . which makes sense as long its mentioned but i think that you can use both which or that because even if the information or the company's details are important so say but the company's name is mentioned before so it'd be additional information but u can use that because its essential i guess right? correct me if i'm wrong another example i am gonna say (annabelle is a movie (which or that) is directed by..... i think here its which just because the information is not that important and there only one movie that's called annabelle . another example is (another example (which or that) i'm not sure about. another thing (the movie (that or which called) something is played) .and (a movie (which or that)called something is played. all the examples that i mentioned are confusing and not sure what to say which or that last thing are you sure because all the teachers on yt i guess didn't say that you can use which or that in identifying clauses they say only that

"As always, you are a perfect teacher. Thank you. Greetings from Brazil."
the best teacher ever thank you so much
I also think he's one of the best, maybe he is the best.
How can someone not like these videos? They help us a lot.
i agree
idk but maybe because hes fat? Thats the only reason I could think about. i liked the vid tho

you very good teacher I appreciate your work. I am from Saudi Arabia I want to say you " THANK YOU SO MUCH "
From Afghanistan
Sir all your lessons are best
What i like is grammar section
Thank you for the lesson. It was very well explained.

Precisely. :)
Very good teacher. Congratulations Alex!
Very useful lesson, thank you so much Alex.
I'm from Brazil, and I'm so happy to find out this channel...
Excellent class Professor.
You will help me in my English test tomorrow!
you are explaining and speaking so easily that I cant stop watching. Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Thank you!!! you really help me to understand the different between which and that
I think that the relative clause in the third sentence cannot be removed because there are 7 Harry Potter books and we don't know which one of the seven you finished last week. It's better to either say, "The Harry Potter series, which I finished last week, was excellent." or remove the commas and make it an identifying clause.
the class was very helpful
I would love to take this guys class...he seems like he'd be a very cool instructor.
alex is a very polite and good teacher
Sorry I didn’t understand this lesson but I like this teacher
A video from 11 years ago, 2011. This is so amazing! I was 12 years old at the time and I got a my very first youtube channel and I also had a blog.
That’s awesome! :D I’m glad you found this video.
Thank you. Your video which helps us is much appreciated.
I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you.
Mr. Alex is my favorite teacher.
Thank you, Alex, for each of your lessons, but I didn't understand this one 😕 Will watch again.
Im from turkey and I love yours video thank you so much
Now I can use Which and That with confidence, thanks Teacher!
Thanks Alex , for your video and quiz , i attended the quiz and got a good score though, but i have one question for the very first question from the quiz.
ques -which is correct ..
1-I saw a speeding car, which really startled me.
2- I saw a speeding car, that really startled me.
i think "I saw a speeding car, which really startled me." is the correct one , bcoz "which really startled me" is a non-identifying clause . So using which should correct here. But quiz answer says "That" is correct one. Please explain a bit where i got wrong. Would really appreciate your comments ..
Manish Maurya I remember that the question says which is INCORRECT...
So there should be no problem, I think.
Excellent lesson!
Thanks
i love your vids.You 're making grammar so simple and interesting . .

Oi magir beti ? Nika korbi amare ?

Nice explanation sir!! 😊
It is correct too. You can't use that only after comma and prepositions
Great pieces of advice, Alex!
You could've also given some examples with people being the subject in sentences with non-identifying clauses, in which case I believe there would be no room for "which", only for "who", right?
You are correct, sir. :)

quick question :
sentences 3 " harry potter" why was an excellent book, is that necessary using past tense just wondering...
your voice is so pleasant :) I love your lessons!
whatever video I have seen regarding english lesson it's nice and different
Best teacher 👨🏫 . Could you teach me about FOR WHICH. What is this? Either phrasal verb or something else . Please teach me according grammar point of view thanks kind regards
For identifying clauses (about things, not people), you can use "that" or "which," or not use them at all.
For non identifying clauses (about things, not people), use always "which."
Thank's! (Brazil!)
You help me so much.
Hi Alex
I have a question. Does “She stopped me from going ahead with the plan, which was really bad” mean that it was really bad that she stopped me, or does it mean that the plan was really bad?
(Obviously if I’d used ‘that’ instead of ‘which’ it would be clear that it was the plan that was bad).
thanks and regards
please reply
thanks a lot for the lesson i have a question tho. so as from what i can tell if the information is worth mentioning use that if not use which (Btw i know it depends on the context but i meant in general) another thing if specific thing is mentioned in a sentence like this which one should i use (adidas is a company (that or which) provides stuff......
i've seen something like this and they say (which) . which makes sense as long its mentioned but i think that you can use both which or that because even if the information or the company's details are important so say but the company's name is mentioned before so it'd be additional information but u can use that because its essential i guess right? correct me if i'm wrong another example i am gonna say (annabelle is a movie (which or that) is directed by.....
i think here its which just because the information is not that important and there only one movie that's called annabelle .
another example is (another example (which or that) i'm not sure about.
another thing (the movie (that or which called) something is played) .and (a movie (which or that)called something is played.
all the examples that i mentioned are confusing and not sure what to say which or that
last thing are you sure because all the teachers on yt i guess didn't say that you can use which or that in identifying clauses they say only that
Good job! Good lesson. Thanks.

I'm Kilean, from Cambodia
