That vs Which

Rules: If "Which" modifies a noun always use a comma before it.

Eg: @timmy makes gifs, which are modable.

In the above sentence the word which modifies the gifs into modable, thus use a comma before which.

But why not?  Timmy makes gifs that are modable?

Rule: Use "Which" only if the object mentioned in the sentence is unique and has no other types of it.

Thus, Timmy makes gifs, which are modable is INCORRECT!.... as Gifs there are other types of gifs that aren't modable

Timmy makes gifs that are modable ( CORRECT)

Eg: Rocky143 drove on hussain sagar ( that/which) connects hyderabad and secunderabad.

Here, Which is correct as the bridge is unique and there are no other bridges connecting hyderabad & secunderabad

Summary:

1) Use comma which if the which modifies a noun before it

2) Use which if there is only type of object you are referring to.

Egs:

DJ is one of the films that flopped Box office ( Correct as there are other films that flopped )

DJ is the film which was screened at the Indian wedding ( Correct as DJ is unique here)

" It " should always refer to a noun

Eg: @fake_Bezawada wishes to find his life partner soon, thus he dedicated most of his time to it. ( INCORRECT)

As in the above sentence "it" refers to a verb ( to find ) rather than the noun ( life partner)

 @samaja_varagamana got a biscuit gifted by his gf and he ate it  vigorously. ( Correct)

In the above sentence it refers to the biscuit ( Noun)

Good post..

Your's, her's, our's, their's  are incorrect!

Yours is correct, while your's is incorrect

* Yours is a second person possessive pronoun and is used to refer to a thing or things belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing.

 

Eg: Is this dog yours? ( Correct - by using the word yours, you are associating the dog with the subject)

     Is this dog your's? ( WRONG!!)

Usage: Inspite of, despite, and although

Rules:

* " Despite of " is wrong

* Despite & In spite of should always be placed in front of nouns or pronouns

Egs: Despite he

      In spite of studying.. ( studying is noun form of study)

     Despite going all the way .. ( INCORRECT as going is verb)

* Although should be placed in front of subject and a verb

Eg: Although he studied hard...

* If Despite & In spite of can be used with the phrase " the fact ", then it can used with a subject and verb

Eg: Despite the fact  that it rained....

 

Exercises:

1)  --------------------- he was tired he drove a hundred kilometers to the next town.

Solution: He is a noun, was tired - Verb so use ---------> Although

2) He enjoys his job ----------- the low salary

Solution: There is no verb after the noun - salary ---- > so use Despite/ In spite of

3) ___ the fact that she had no money, she bought the car anyway.
Solution: Both can be used as " the fact " is used

Using has vs had.

Example:

A recent article in The New York Times reported that many recent college graduates had decided on moving back into their parents' home rather than face the uncertainty and expense of the rental market.

HERE...had is incorrect

Had + ed form of verb = Past perfect = used only to indicate an event that happened prior to another past event

Thus use have

Use HAD + ed verb only to indicate an event that happened prior to another past event
