When we want to add extra information about something, we use relative clauses. If the information is super important, we use the pronoun "that" to introduce it. Like, "The dog that barks all night keeps me awake." But if it's not that important and just adds extra details, we use the pronoun "which." For example, "My phone, which has a cool camera, takes awesome pictures." So, "that" is for really important stuff and "which" is for not-so-important stuff.

Sure! "That" is used with an essential clause when the information is really important and necessary to understand the sentence, like "The book that I borrowed from the library is due tomorrow." "Which" is used with a nonessential clause when the information is not as important and just adds extra details, like "My car, which is blue, is parked in the driveway." So, "that" is for important information and "which" is for extra details.
