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.
The relative pronoun "that" is used with an essential (restrictive) clause. This type of clause provides necessary information to the meaning of the sentence and cannot be omitted without changing the intended meaning. For example, in the sentence "The book that I borrowed from the library was really interesting," the essential clause "that I borrowed from the library" specifies which book is being referred to.
On the other hand, the relative pronoun "which" is used with a nonessential (nonrestrictive) clause. This type of clause provides additional, non-critical information about the subject but can be left out without affecting the overall meaning of the sentence. For instance, in the sentence "My car, which is red, is parked in the driveway," the nonessential clause "which is red" offers an extra detail about the car but is not vital to the sentence's core meaning.
The primary difference between essential and nonessential clauses lies in punctuation. Essential clauses do not require commas, as they are necessary for the sentence's meaning, while nonessential clauses are set off by commas as they can be omitted without altering the main idea of the sentence.
