Asked by E

The relative pronoun "that" is used with an essential clause and the relative pronoun "which" is used with a nonessential clause. In three to five sentences, explain when to use each pronoun and the difference between the two relative clauses. (2 points)

okay well can you help me on it?

Answered by E
So I Rewrote it. this is what i came up with. i tried my best not to copy.

So In a defining clause, use the word *that* And In a non-defining clauses, use *which* which Is as disposable as a mask. If you are able to remove the clause without messing up the meaning of the sentence, then the clause is nonessential. And When You use *That* is used in defining clauses.
Answered by Writeacher
In your paragraph, you're using two terms: "defining" and "nonessential" but their relationship to each other is not clear. Please refine your writing by using only one pair:
defining & nondefining
OR
essential & nonessential

Try again.

You're still mixing up the terminology. Please read my previous post.

Answered by Writeacher
I thought I did!

Use only one or the other:
defining & nondefining
OR
essential & nonessential

Don't mix them up!

OH
Okay

Answered by E
I fixed it again.
Answered by Writeacher
So In a defining clause, use the word <u>that</u>, but in a non-defining clause, use <u>which</u>. A non-defining clause is as disposable as a mask. If you are able to remove the clause without messing up the meaning of the sentence, then the clause is non-defining.

Do you see what changes I made? Only "defining" and "non-defining" are used. No mixing up "non-essential" in this!!
Answered by E
Okay thank you.
Answered by E
Am i finished?

Answered by Writeacher
Probably, but that's up to you to decide.

Re-read the directions in your first post and make sure.

I need help
Answered by Trent Lane
so basically:
"that" cannot be removed from the sentence, but "which" can. you use "that" when referring to something- especially infront of you- (e.g. "that dog") but "which" is used to add information, such as "the dog, which has a history of thievery, stole a pie"

hope this makes sense and is correct? don't copy and paste btw. do your own research and stuff

Essential Clause is the info in the clause necessary to the understanding of the sentince while a Nonessential clause uses commas before and after nonessential clauses that interrupt a sentince without changing the essential meaning. An example for essential clause: The bike that my dad built looked brand new. The example for nonessential clause: The garage, that was really old, had alot of boxes. When you use relative pronouns you have to use them correctly: Who relates to people (subject); Whom relates to people (whom); Which relates to animals and objects; That relates to people, animals, and things; Whose refers to possession; Where refers to place; When refers to time; Why refers to reason; What relates to things.

@Mehgy Cow Hi I'm pretty sure you are in my class and I was wondering what the question is asking so can you tell me what is it asking me to do????
Answered by 💠Mehgy Cow💠
Ignore the first sentince. you must use 3-5 sentinces and explain how and when to use the relitive pronouns. Also explain the two diffrences of essential and nonessential.

Try looking at Unit 4, Lesson 4, Page 10 to help you answer the question on your own. Some of the answers/examples above aren't correct.
Answered by Jomama
Either Violate the Honor Code or Make the Sentence in your own words.

First of all, the words "that" and "which" are both relative pronouns; this means, both introduce clauses that describe a noun previously mentioned. However, the pronoun "that" should be used only to introduce essential or defining clauses (information that cannot be omitted); for example "She is the woman that I love". On the other hand, the word "which" introduces information that is not essential or non-defining clauses; for example "The house, which is located near the sea, is stunning". Moreover, clauses introduced by which are set off in commas to show they are not essential.
