Difference Between Which And Witch

“Which” is a relative pronoun just like “who” or “whom”.  Who and whom are used   to refer to people, while which is used to refer to things or inanimate objects or animals.  For example, “The man who is blind, walks with a stick;” or “The book which is on the table, belongs to me”.  In either case, the phrase with who or which must come immediately after the person/object being described.  See more examples below:
