"Which" and "that," which one when?

Posted by Massimo Mazzucco on May 10, 2001

This is probably too basic a question for English-speaking people, but I do have this problem quite often (not being one of them).
Is there a basic rule (on when to use one rather than the other), or do you just "play it by ear?"
Thanks
