FAQ
How do students know whether to use 'that' or 'which' in a sentence?⌄
'That' introduces a restrictive clause — essential to the sentence's meaning — while 'which' introduces a non-restrictive clause that adds extra info and is set off with commas.
Is the 'that vs. which' distinction taught explicitly in 4th grade?⌄
Yes, 4th grade is an appropriate time to introduce this rule, as students are writing more complex sentences with relative clauses and need to distinguish essential from non-essential information.
What is a quick comma rule connected to 'that' and 'which'?⌄
A useful rule of thumb: if you can remove the clause without changing the sentence's core meaning, use 'which' with a comma; if removing it changes the meaning, use 'that' with no comma.
