Definition: (interrogative) What one or ones (of those mentioned or implied).
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
That dictionary definition is quite clear, but let’s break it down with a little cheer. “Which” is tricky, I know, it's true, but we can make its meaning shine anew!
Essentially, "which" asks you to
choose
—
From options presented, just one or use!
Think of it like this: You’re standing in a store,
With apples and bananas, wanting more.
You ask your friend, “Which fruit do you see?”
“The apple,” they reply, "that's the one for me!"
See? "Which" narrows down the selection bright,
Showing just
one
thing from a group in sight.
It’s used when there are choices to make,
A single item, for goodness sake!
So “which” means
select
– don't you see?
Just one of many, for you and me!
Does that rhyme help clarify things for you today? Do you have any questions about ‘which’ or would you like to practice with some examples?
