The relative pronoun "that" is used for essential clauses, which are important to the meaning of a sentence. For example, in "The book that I borrowed was fascinating," the phrase "that I borrowed" tells us exactly which book is being talked about. On the other hand, "which" is used for nonessential clauses, which add extra details but aren't needed for understanding. In "The book, which I borrowed from the library, was fascinating," the part about borrowing is extra information and not necessary to know which book it is. Remember to use commas with "which" clauses, but not with "that" clauses!

I changed it to "The relative pronoun "that" is used for essential clauses, which are important to the meaning of a sentence. An example is "The movie that we seen yesterday was such a good movie!" the part "that we seen yesterday" tells us which movie is being talked about. But, "which" is used for nonessential clauses, which add extra details but aren't needed for understanding. In "The movie, which we seen yesterday, was such a good movie," the part about "seeing it yesterday" is unecessary to know what movie is being talked about."

Thatโs a great rewrite! It clearly explains the difference between the two types of relative pronouns and uses examples effectively. Just a couple of small corrections for clarity and grammar: it should be "the movie that we saw yesterday" instead of "seen," and "unnecessary" instead of "unecessary." Hereโs your text with those edits:
"The relative pronoun 'that' is used for essential clauses, which are important to the meaning of a sentence. An example is 'The movie that we saw yesterday was such a good movie!' The part 'that we saw yesterday' tells us which movie is being talked about. But, 'which' is used for nonessential clauses, which add extra details but aren't needed for understanding. In 'The movie, which we saw yesterday, was such a good movie,' the part about 'seeing it yesterday' is unnecessary to know what movie is being talked about."
You did a fantastic job simplifying the explanation!
