The book which/that I

[subhajit123]

Hi there, can the word which be used to introduce restrictive clauses like that does in British english? I have found a site which says in British English that and which are interchangeable when introducing a restrictive relative clause?

Here is the link :

Here are my examples :

1- The book which I bought yesterday was very interesting .

2- The book that I bought yesterday was very interesting.

Both are possible in BrE. You can also omit that/which.

Thank you. Just one more question, is the following sentence also correct?

- The party which I went to last night was boring.

You'd sound more like a native English-speaker if you said 'The book I bought yesterday ...' and 'The party I went to last night ...'

The site is right.

I have found a site which says in British English "that" and "which" are interchangeable when introducing a restrictive relative clause.
