English. Both words are prepositions that mean “into, surrounded by; in the midst of, so as to
influence; with a share for each of; in the number, class, or group of; mutually; or by all or with
the whole of.”
Among and amongst are interchangeable terms. Among is more common in modern writing.
Americans tend to always use among, while in the UK both among and amongst are used.

Which vs. That: How to Choose

In a defining clause, use that.
In non-defining clauses, use which.
Remember, which is as disposable as a sandwich bag. If you can remove the clause without
destroying the meaning of the sentence, the clause is nonessential and you can use which.
People use which and that every day. Just because these words are common doesn’t mean they’re
easy to use. In particular, clauses cause a lot of confusion, but there’s an easy way to remember
which one to choose.
Which vs. That: What’s the Difference in Usage?
To understand when to use that or which, it’s important to understand clauses. A defining clause
(also called an essential clause or a restrictive clause) gives information essential to the meaning
of the sentence. That is used in defining clauses. Here’s an example:

My bike that has a broken seat is in the garage.

In this sentence, you understand that the speaker has at least one other bike. Specifically, the bike
he’s talking about is distinguished from his other bikes by its broken seat. If you removed the
clause “that has a broken seat,” you would lose the implication that he owns more than one
bicycle, and even if you somehow knew about the other bikes, you wouldn’t know which one
was in the garage.

Which introduces non-defining clauses. Unlike defining clauses, non-defining clauses (also
called nonessential or nonrestrictive clauses) don’t limit the meaning of the sentence. You might
lose interesting details if you remove them, but the meaning of the sentence wouldn’t change.
Sometimes, these phrases are set off by commas.

My bike, which has a broken seat, is in the garage.

Here, the broken seat is simply a description of the bike in the garage. There’s no implication
that the speaker owns more than one bike. Do you see the difference? Perhaps a little mnemonic
device will help you to remember how to choose between that or which.

How to Remember the Difference Between That and Which

Because non-defining clauses add removable information, it’s easy to remember to use which if
you think of a plastic sandwich bag. They are disposable, and so are clauses with which. Let’s
look at some examples from real life.

Examples of That and Which

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by
imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest
accomplishment.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by
the ones you did do. . . . Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
Which and that are common words, but they are important. By identifying your clauses as
defining or non-defining, you can easily remember when to use which and when to use that. If
you are ready to learn more, study up on defining and non-defining clauses.

Grammar Basics: What Are Defining Clauses?

Shundalyn Allen
Grammar Basics: What Are Defining Clauses?
Sentences may contain many different types of clauses. Defining clauses, also called restrictive
clauses, serve an important function. What role do they play in sentences and how does it relate
to the name of these clauses?

First, let’s lay some groundwork. A subject, verb, and a relative pronoun (who, whose, where,
when, which, or that) distinguish relative clauses from other types of clauses, though not all three
are needed. Because these clauses are descriptive, some call them adjectival or adjective clauses.
Relative clauses fall into two subtypes—defining and nondefining (or restrictive and
nonrestrictive).

Defining clauses (restrictive clauses) give us necessary information about the words they modify.
They help convey the intended meaning. Let’s examine some sentences with and without
defining clauses.

The woman bought a lottery ticket. (You don’t know which woman.) The woman who won last
year’s jackpot bought a lottery ticket. (You specify which woman purchased the ticket.)

The cantaloupe is ripe. (You don’t know which specific cantaloupe is ripe.) The cantaloupe that I
grew in my garden is ripe. (The defining clause lets you know which cantaloupe is ripe.)

Sometimes people make mistakes with defining clauses. For example, they might put commas
around a defining clause. However, you do not need to set off defining clauses with commas or
any other punctuation.
Do you see how these types of clauses define the nouns they modify? It’s easy to understand
their name. Now, what are non-defining clauses? You might already have a good guess!
