“That” is the restrictive(defining) pronoun （有限制）
“Which” is the nonrestrictive(non-defining) pronoun（无限制）
That和which的关键是：句子中的限制是必要的还是不必要的，必要的用that, 限制信息可有可无用which
e.g. The bike that is broken in the garage.
(用that表示有很多自行车坏在车库里，这里单独指代其中一辆坏的自行车)
The bike, which is broken, is in the garge.
（用which表示只有一辆自行车坏了，不用限制没有指代别的自行车，添加特点额外信息）
Singular antecedents (注意名词使用的单复数)
e.g Each student worries about their grade. (False)
Each student worries about her grade. (True)
