Confusing Words – Which/That

Many people have trouble deciding whether to use
the words which or that to start a clause. If the
sentence will make sense without the clause, it’s
called a nonrestrictive clause. A nonrestrictive
clause is introduced by the word which. If the
sentence would not make sense without the
clause, it’s called a restrictive clause. Restrictive
clauses are introduced by that.

Determine whether which or that should be
used in each sentence?

1. I like to watch movies _____ make me laugh.
2. Marissa is going on a trip ______ will take
her all the way around the world.
3. My mother says _____ I have to clean my
room before I go.
4. My favorite movie, _____ I’ve watched at
least ten times, is Sound of Music.
5. When we go to my grandmothers, _____ is a
four hour drive, I usually sleep in the car.
6. My brother only likes food _____ is really
sweet.
