Using Which vs. That

"That" Is Restrictive
The word “that” is considered to be a restrictive element of any sentence that it may be
used in.
Look again at the definitions above — a restrictive element limits the meaning of the
sentence element that it modifies. For example, in the sentence, “Baby foods that contain
soybeans are best,” the restrictive element of the sentence are the words “that contain.”
These words restrict the type of baby food that is being discussed.
In effect, without the words “that contain” the whole sentence meaning would be altered. In
fact, there would be no restrictive element of the baby food. Instead the sentence would
imply that all baby food is best.
"Which" Is Non-Restrictive
Let’s examine the notion of the non-restrictive element. Remember, a non-restrictive element is a word,
phrase or a clause within a sentence that only serves as additional information — an info item so to
speak. Should a non-restrictive item be left out of the sentence, it will not change the meaning of the
sentence whatsoever.

You can usually recognize a non-restrictive element because it is surrounded by commas or

parentheses. Here is an example of how a non-restrictive element using the word “which”
should be used: “Soybean baby foods, which are Sally’s favorite, work well for her diet.”
Can you see the difference between how the word “that” (a restrictive element) and the
word “which” (a non-restrictive element) work in a sentence? If you look at the illustration for
a non-restrictive element (or the word “which”) you can see how if you removed the phrase
“which are Sally’s favorite” the meaning of the sentence does not change. The only thing
the phrase “which are Sally’s favorite” does is provide additional information.
