The relative pronoun "that" is used with an essential clause and the relative pronoun "which" is used with a nonessential clause. In three to five sentences, explain when to use each pronoun and the difference between the two relative clauses. (2 points)
No one here will write your assignment for you. However, if you post what you write, someone may be able to critique your thinking and writing for you.
okay well can you help me on it?
So I Rewrote it. this is what i came up with. i tried my best not to copy.
So In a defining clause, use the word *that* And In a non-defining clauses, use *which* which Is as disposable as a mask. If you are able to remove the clause without messing up the meaning of the sentence, then the clause is nonessential. And When You use *That* is used in defining clauses.
In your paragraph, you're using two terms: "defining" and "nonessential" but their relationship to each other is not clear. Please refine your writing by using only one pair:
defining & nondefining
OR
essential & nonessential
Try again.
There
So In a defining clause, use the word *that* And In a non-defining clauses, use *which* which Is as disposable as a mask. If you are able to remove the clause without messing up the meaning of the sentence, then the clause is nonessential. And When You use *That* is used in essential clauses.
You're still mixing up the terminology. Please read my previous post.
i did twice. can u give me hints?
Okay last time..
So In a defining clause, use the word *that* And In a non defining clauses, use *which* which Is as disposable as a mask. If you are able to remove the clause without messing up the meaning of the sentence, then the clause is nonessential. And When You use *That* is used in defining clauses.
I thought I did!
Use only one or the other:
defining & nondefining
OR
essential & nonessential
Don't mix them up!
OH
Okay
So In a defining clause, use the word *that* And In a essential clauses, use *which* which Is as disposable as a mask. If you are able to remove the clause without messing up the meaning of the sentence, then the clause is nonessential.
I fixed it again.
So In a defining clause, use the word that, but in a non-defining clause, use which. A non-defining clause is as disposable as a mask. If you are able to remove the clause without messing up the meaning of the sentence, then the clause is non-defining.
Do you see what changes I made? Only "defining" and "non-defining" are used. No mixing up "non-essential" in this!!
Okay thank you.
Am i finished?
Probably, but that's up to you to decide.
Re-read the directions in your first post and make sure.
Ive been doing this test for 5 fricken hours straight
If you copy and paste this answer onto the test, it will be marked as an honor code violation. Please don't do that.
But what to do I am so stuck!!!😥😥
and Writeacher not helping to me.
r u stuck step bro
@i dont know why
yea step bro got stuck in the pile of home/school work again i think you should bust him outta there
can they tell if you copy and paste?
@thehe yes, they can tell.
they can tell what site you get it of
I need help
so basically:
"that" cannot be removed from the sentence, but "which" can. you use "that" when referring to something- especially infront of you- (e.g. "that dog") but "which" is used to add information, such as "the dog, which has a history of thievery, stole a pie"
hope this makes sense and is correct? don't copy and paste btw. do your own research and stuff
Writeacher: b r u h
your not even a real teacher
your such a teacher catfish omg.
your useless and we all hate you
yo chill?
Hey Writeacher You Don't have to be so rude You Acted like @E ended the world like omg *smh*

WHAT DO I DO
Writeacher is a pain
Writeacher is a pain like if u agree
sooooooo rude to not help, whriteacher.
really?
You guys need to chill- I agree writeacher could be a bit nicer but they're a real person too. Writeacher just wants you to gain knowledge insead of just cheating.
Essential Clause is the info in the clause necessary to the understanding of the sentince while a Nonessential clause uses commas before and after nonessential clauses that interrupt a sentince without changing the essential meaning. An example for essential clause: The bike that my dad built looked brand new. The example for nonessential clause: The garage, that was really old, had alot of boxes. When you use relative pronouns you have to use them correctly: Who relates to people (subject); Whom relates to people (whom); Which relates to animals and objects; That relates to people, animals, and things; Whose refers to possession; Where refers to place; When refers to time; Why refers to reason; What relates to things.
just thought i'd help 😅
also don't copy... you'll vialate the honor code.
@Mehgy Cow Hi I'm pretty sure you are in my class and I was wondering what the question is asking so can you tell me what is it asking me to do????
Ignore the first sentince. you must use 3-5 sentinces and explain how and when to use the relitive pronouns. Also explain the two diffrences of essential and nonessential.
sorry it took me long to respond.
Thank you so much that really helped :D
your welcome im glad that helped😄
Can you post it just the answer, not the first answer?
? im sorry can you refrase it?
oh I think I get it.

Is that what you wanted???
Yep
bruh anyone got discord 😂😂
Gotta love how Mrs. Sue says this site is bad and unhelpful yet on another thread she yells at students for cheating and then gets mad when they think its funny XD
My adhd reading these conversations: ^-^
I just don't understand, the way everyone is putting it... My brain just doesn't take it in the right way. I have been trying to understand how to answer this question for literally 1 hour and 50 minutes.
Try looking at Unit 4, Lesson 4, Page 10 to help you answer the question on your own. Some of the answers/examples above aren't correct.
Either Violate the Honor Code or Make the Sentence in your own words.
First of all, the words "that" and "which" are both relative pronouns; this means, both introduce clauses that describe a noun previously mentioned. However, the pronoun "that" should be used only to introduce essential or defining clauses (information that cannot be omitted); for example "She is the woman that I love". On the other hand, the word "which" introduces information that is not essential or non-defining clauses; for example "The house, which is located near the sea, is stunning". Moreover, clauses introduced by which are set off in commas to show they are not essential.
