Topic: “That” / “Which” Adjectival Clause

Passage:

As Mrs. Johnson entered the classroom, she saw that the students were eagerly waiting for the day’s lesson. She smiled at them and greeted them warmly. Then, she began to teach them about the “that” and “which” adjectival clauses.

“Class, today we are going to learn about two words that often cause confusion: ‘that’ and ‘which’. These words are used in adjectival clauses, which are clauses that modify nouns,” Mrs. Johnson explained.

She wrote two sentences on the board and asked the students to identify which one had a “that” adjectival clause and which one had a “which” adjectival clause.

“The car that is parked in front of the school is mine,” she wrote on the board. “The car, which is red, belongs to my sister.”

After a few seconds, a student named Tom raised his hand and said, “The first sentence has a ‘that’ adjectival clause because it tells us which car is yours. The second sentence has a ‘which’ adjectival clause because it tells us what color the car is.”

“Excellent job, Tom! You are absolutely right,” Mrs. Johnson praised.

She went on to explain that “that” is used in restrictive clauses, which means the clause is essential to the meaning of the sentence. On the other hand, “which” is used in non-restrictive clauses, which means the clause provides additional information that is not necessary to the meaning of the sentence.

The students listened attentively and asked questions when they didn’t understand. They worked on exercises to practice identifying adjectival clauses with “that” and “which”. By the end of the lesson, they were confident in their understanding of the topic.

As they packed their bags to go home, Mrs. Johnson reminded them to practice what they had learned and to look out for “that” and “which” adjectival clauses in their reading materials.

“Remember, practice makes perfect. See you all tomorrow,” she said as the students filed out of the classroom, eager to learn more

How To form sentences and paragraphs with “that” or “which”

  1. First, identify the noun or nouns that you want to describe or modify with an adjectival clause.
  2. Determine whether the clause is restrictive or non-restrictive.
  3. If the clause is restrictive, use “that” to introduce the clause.
  4. If the clause is non-restrictive, use “which” to introduce the clause.
  5. Make sure the clause adds information that is relevant and coherent with the noun it is modifying.
  6. If the clause comes at the end of a sentence, it should be separated from the rest of the sentence with a comma.
  7. If the clause is in the middle of a sentence, it should be surrounded by commas.
  8. Use “that” when referring to a specific person, place, thing, or idea that is necessary for understanding the sentence.
  9. Use “which” when referring to a non-specific or general person, place, thing, or idea that provides additional information about the sentence.
  10. Remember to use the correct word (that/which) to avoid ambiguity in your writing.
  11. When writing a paragraph, use adjectival clauses with “that” or “which” to provide details and descriptions that enhance the reader’s understanding of the topic.
