[@B_Ruphe]

How nice to find someone who gets this correct for a change. There is so much wrong advice circulating on the internet and even in some grammar reference books and textbooks.

[@rodrigomunizzzz]

How can someone not like these videos? They help us a lot.

[@khadarseleban9850]

[@celenial6009]

[@jejelosprimos1]

I'm from Brazil, and I'm so happy to find out this channel...

[@basmadz7714]

I think that the relative clause in the third sentence cannot be removed because there are 7 Harry Potter books and we don't know which one of the seven you finished last week. It's better to either say, "The Harry Potter series, which I finished last week, was excellent." or remove the commas and make it an identifying clause.

[@jedor]

you engvid guys make things easier! you make the topic which confused me for so many yrs so easy to understand. it's amazing useful! thx u a lot, teacher

[@engvidAlex]

My pleasure! Thanks for studying with EngVid, and I'm glad it's been useful for you!

Im from turkey and I love yours video thank you so much

[@agnesrafaela5857]

That class was so good, im brazilian and this helps me lot

[@Kishoreragi]

We can't find much difference in them while trying to understand, but I will tell you how one has to use them. Usually, we require them while writing a paragraph/an essay. As everybody knows that a paragraph is about one topic, and one has to focus on the same topic throughout the paragraph. However, in academic writing, you may have to divert something to give extra and out of the topic information. In this case, "which" should come into picture or else you are bound to use "that". Hope it helps

[@jeffersonaraujoelcristiano]

A video from 11 years ago, 2011. This is so amazing! I was 12 years old at the time and I got a my very first youtube channel and I also had a blog.

Thanks Alex for this great lesson

[@Harry_2003]

Nice explanation sir!! 😊

[@nawarnawar5822]

Hi, we can take out " that and which" in both first two examples because they refer to the object not to the subject. This is what I learnt before, but now you change everything.

[@LucasAlves-lf3yb]

You will help me in my English test tomorrow!

[@user-hq5si7rl7i]

[@neehaglee7249]

great video offering great help. thanks for sharing alex. very well explained too.

[@eb73551]

Thank you for clear explanation.

[@genevieveguia]

These were adjective clauses. What about noun and adverbial ones? Thanks for your "classes" they are crystal clear.

[@ilhannam7448]

Thank you so much for your specific instrucition and explanation about what I've wondered. I already subscribed your contemnts. Good day, sir.

[@akleines2]

Very well explained. The main point is if the "which" adds necessary informtion to the frase, then it is no preceeded by a coma. As "that" can only be used for identifying clauses, all sentences with a non-indentifying clause REQUIERE the use of "which"

[@engvidAlex]

Precisely. :)

[@c.m9747]

Excellent class Professor.

[@maurocastagnera8949]

Very clear and simple. Thank you!

[@engvidAlex]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it, Mauro.

[@lrlizribeiro]

Great pieces of advice, Alex! You could've also given some examples with people being the subject in sentences with non-identifying clauses, in which case I believe there would be no room for "which", only for "who", right?

[@engvidAlex]

You are correct, sir. :)

[@arjunsunil9642]

the class was very helpful

[@dilekaksunger9044]

You are very good teacher! thank you!!!!

[@manishmaurya1666]

Thanks Alex , for your video and quiz , i attended the quiz and got a good score though, but i have one question for the very first question from the quiz. ques -which is correct .. 1-I saw a speeding car, which really startled me. 2- I saw a speeding car, that really startled me. i think "I saw a speeding car, which really startled me." is the correct one , bcoz "which really startled me" is a non-identifying clause . So using which should correct here. But quiz answer says "That" is correct one. Please explain a bit where i got wrong. Would really appreciate your comments ..

[@weirungtseng8753]

Manish Maurya I remember that the question says which is INCORRECT... So there should be no problem, I think.

[@dinazaytseva8152]

[@JoshuaBerrios69]

For the table sentence, can I switch the "which" for a "that"?

[@kriss.6914]

Thank you, Alex, for each of your lessons, but I didn't understand this one 😕 Will watch again.

[@EverydayMathMagic]

Basically use "which" instead of "that" to avoid mistakes.

Excelent class!!

[@janet5053]

The shoes, which I bought last week, are really comfortable. The shoes that I bought in Mrcy are really comforable.

[@SKTPSY]

Can use both 'which' and 'that' to add an essential information to give more meaning to the sentence. Otherwise sentence would be incomplete. Can use 'which' when you add an extra sentence even though sentence do not need that extra information and it would make a perfect sense without it. Hope I got it right. Thank you!

[@saahithj5073]

Thanks a lot. This really helped.

[@etka10]

alex is a very polite and good teacher

[@michaelluvu7117]

thanks a lot for the lesson i have a question tho. so as from what i can tell if the information is worth mentioning use that if not use which (Btw i know it depends on the context but i meant in general) another thing if specific thing is mentioned in a sentence like this which one should i use (adidas is a company (that or which) provides stuff...... i've seen something like this and they say (which) . which makes sense as long its mentioned but i think that you can use both which or that because even if the information or the company's details are important so say but the company's name is mentioned before so it'd be additional information but u can use that because its essential i guess right? correct me if i'm wrong another example i am gonna say (annabelle is a movie (which or that) is directed by..... i think here its which just because the information is not that important and there only one movie that's called annabelle . another example is (another example (which or that) i'm not sure about. another thing (the movie (that or which called) something is played) .and (a movie (which or that)called something is played. all the examples that i mentioned are confusing and not sure what to say which or that last thing are you sure because all the teachers on yt i guess didn't say that you can use which or that in identifying clauses they say only that

[@AbidKhan-lr5wb]

Hi Alex I have a question. Does “She stopped me from going ahead with the plan, which was really bad” mean that it was really bad that she stopped me, or does it mean that the plan was really bad? (Obviously if I’d used ‘that’ instead of ‘which’ it would be clear that it was the plan that was bad). thanks and regards please reply

The movie that I saw ten days ago was about death and love. The best purchase that I have ever made is a microscope, which I bought from a flea market. It was very cheap. It just cost about 1 USD. Although it did not function. I put it in my bedroom as decoration.

[@yogeshsharma5273]

Thanks a lot for the lesson Alex! If we write the second sentence with "That" It will be grammatically Incorrect ? "The Table that I bought from Ikea was cheap" Incorrect ?
