Usage
When is it correct to use that and when should you use which. The general rule is that, when introducing clauses that define or identify something (known as restrictive relative clauses), it is acceptable to use either that or which: a book which aims to simplify scientific language or a book that aims to simplify scientific language. However, which, but never that, should be used to introduce clauses giving additional information (non-restrictive relative clauses): the book, which costs ?15, has sold a million copies not the book, that costs ?15, has sold a million copies.

That
That is an English language word used for several grammatical purposes. These include use as an adjective, conjunction, pronoun, adverb, and intensifier; it has distance from the speaker, as opposed to words like this. The word did not originally exist in Old English, and its concept was represented by þe. Once it came into being, it was spelt as þæt (among others, such as þet), taking the role of the modern that. It also took on the role of the modern word what, though this has since changed, and that has recently replaced some usage of the modern which. Pronunciation of the word varies according to its role within a sentence, with two main varieties (a strong and a weak form), though there are also regional differences, such as where the sound is substituted instead by a in English spoken in Cameroon.
