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. (2 points)
The pronoun "that" is used with an essential clause, which means that the information contained in the clause is necessary to identify or understand the noun it modifies. These clauses do not have commas before or after them. For example, "The house that is located on the corner is for sale." Here, the essential clause "that is located on the corner" is necessary to identify the specific house being referred to. On the other hand, the pronoun "which" is used with nonessential clauses, which provide additional information about the noun but are not necessary for its identification or understanding. Nonessential clauses are set off by commas. For example, "The dog, which is brown and white, loves to play fetch." In this case, the nonessential clause "which is brown and white" provides additional descriptive information about the dog, but it can be removed without affecting the main meaning of the sentence.
