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 relative pronoun "that" is used with an essential clause, which provides necessary information to the sentence and cannot be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence. This type of clause does not require commas to set it apart from the rest of the sentence. On the other hand, the relative pronoun "which" is used with a nonessential clause, which provides additional, non-essential information and can be removed from the sentence without affecting its meaning. Nonessential clauses are set off by commas.
For example, consider the sentence: "The book that is on the table is mine." The essential clause "that is on the table" specifies which book is being referred to and is necessary for understanding the sentence. In contrast, the nonessential clause in the sentence "The book, which is red, is mine" simply provides additional information about the book being red, but can be removed without changing the main point of the sentence.
The relative pronoun that is used with an essential clause, and the relative pronoun which is used with a nonessential clause. In 3
sentences, explain when to use each pronoun and the difference between the two types of relative clauses. (2 points)
The relative pronoun "that" is used to introduce essential or restrictive clauses. These clauses provide crucial information to the sentence and cannot be omitted without changing the meaning or clarity of the sentence. Generally, no commas are used to separate an essential clause from the rest of the sentence. For example: "The book that I borrowed from the library is overdue."
On the other hand, the relative pronoun "which" is used to introduce nonessential or nonrestrictive clauses. These clauses provide additional information about the preceding noun, but they are not necessary for understanding the sentence. Nonessential clauses are usually set off by commas. For example: "My new laptop, which I bought last week, is very fast."
In summary, "that" is used with essential clauses that are necessary for the sentence, and "which" is used with nonessential clauses that provide extra information but can be removed without affecting the main point of the sentence. The presence or absence of commas is an important indicator of the type of relative clause being used.
