Now, let's look at which in Adjective Clauses. Well, that means we're going to talk about things, not people. Which refers to things.
The boy which found my wallet...?No. You can't use which with people.
But look this:
The wallet OXXSXXVOr you can say:
The wallet which he found was full of money.
The wallet OXSXXVThere's no difference between which and that in those sentences.
The wallet that he found was full of money.
And,you can omit the object pronoun:
The wallet OXSXXVThat's pretty neat! Okay. Now let's look at using which and that as subject pronouns. Here are the two sentences we want to combine:
The wallet ø he found was full of money.
The bus goes downtown. It stops at this corner.Which or That, it doesn't matter (though native speakers seem to prefer that here). But you have to use one of them. You CAN'T omit a subject pronoun from an Adjective Clause.
The bus whi SXXV
The bus which stops at this corner goes downtown.
The bus wSXXV
The bus that stops at this corner goes downtown.
