Changing that to which or vice verse can
completely change the meaning of a sentence. Consider the following examples:
- My car that is blue goes very fast.
- My car, which is blue, goes very fast.
The first sentence uses that – suggesting I own
more than one car (and even implying my other cars might not be so fast). This
is what happens if we leave out the clause and write:
- My car
that is bluegoes very fast. - My car goes very fast.
The sentence’s meaning has
changed: the reader does not know which one of my cars goes very fast.
However, the sentence using which simple informs the
reader that my car is blue. We can take the clause out without losing any
essential information:
- My car,
which is blue,goes very fast. - My car goes very fast.
