Question

This is elementary, but can someone explain to me in simple English the differences between the terms in these groups:

what vs which
who vs whom
that vs which

Answer 1

I know its a lot, but I tried to sum it up as easily as possible! Sorry!
x_x;
I'm unsure of That vs. Which however! Thats a good question (:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- What vs. Which = Which usually refers to something with a certain number of choices or selecting. (ie. Which ice cream would you like? Which shoes should I wear with this outfit? ...) What usually refers to something with infinite choices or identifying. (ie. What's your favorite color? What would you like for dinner? ....)

~What; Identifies
~Which; Selects
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Who vs. Whom = The easy way to remember this is HE = WHO and HIM = WHOM. So for example if you can answer the question with HE, you would use WHO.

ie. Who/Whom wrote the letter?
He wrote the letter. Therefore, who is correct.
