More information about 'which'

Places: We use 'where' for location. However, we can also use 'which' to provide more information about a place. 

• Example: Salem is the city where I was grew up. (emphasis on the place)
• Example: Salem, which is the capital of Oregon, is a beautiful city. (more information about a city)

Which vs that: If there are commas, generally use 'which'. No commas, use 'that'. 

• Example: The doctor that I usually go to is in Arnhem. (that could be left out)
• Example: The doctor, which I prefer to visit, is in Arnhem. (commas!)

Pssssst... Sometimes it's okay to use either 'that' or 'which'.

New York City, ______ is very diverse, has the largest population of all American cities.

1. where
2. which
3. that

Relative pronouns and commas

Use commas to set off nonrestrictive subordinate clauses (can leave it out of the sentence and it still makes sense), and do not use commas to set off restrictive clauses (can't leave it out of the sentence). 

• Example with comma: We had fish and chips, which I always enjoy. (sentence would still make sense without 'which I always enjoy)
• Example no comma: The woman that I married is named Angela. (without 'that I married' the sentence wouldn't make sense)

Is the comma correct or incorrect?
'Marie Curie is the woman, who discovered radium.'

1. Correct
2. Incorrect

Phrasal verbs (page 18)

A phrasal verb is a phrase that’s made up of a verb and another word or two, usually a preposition but sometimes an adverb. 

Try to think of each part literally (or spatially)

• Example: Hang out; hang in; hang up
• Example: Look into; look out for; look up to

1. I wish you didn’t bring up/bring on that subject. I don’t want to talk about it.

1. bring up
