What Or Which

In this little article we are going to tackle one of the most common mistakes in English language, the use of what ore which.

What

It is used when the answer has many choices. E.g.:

  • What color do you like? (There are many colors)
  • What city are you from?

Which

It is used when the answer has a limited number of choices or the question is providing a list of choices.

  • Which hand do you write with? (The answer must be ‘left’ or ‘right’).
  • Which color do you prefer: red or white? (The question contains a list of choices)
