The "Which" Connector

ការប្រើប្រាស់ "Which" (Relative Clause)

We use "which" to connect two sentences about a thing or an animal. It tells us exactly which thing we mean.

យើងប្រើពាក្យ "which" ដើម្បីភ្ជាប់ប្រយោគពីរបញ្ចូលគ្នា ពេលនិយាយអំពីវត្ថុ ឬសត្វ។ វាបញ្ជាក់ប្រាប់យើងថា វត្ថុមួយណាឲ្យប្រាកដ។

Yes, Sokha! In defining relative clauses (like the ones we learned today), "that" and "which" are both correct for things.

"The book which I read" = "The book that I read". Great question! 💡
