lol, no. I retook the test. Got 21/22 this time. Believe it or not, I again messed up the principle/principal one. Pretty one everyone I know goofed up that/which and I didn't.

"That" is used to modify the subject and "which" is used to modify the object.

i simply do the comma trick, even if i know the difference between that/which usage.

i'm tempted to type "i don't believe you," but i'll just say you are ridiculous!

excellent trick! in fact, i am going to tutor my kids tonight about the correct usage of i/me and that/which and then have them take this test tonight. does it give you the right answers and how you have answered in that site? i did not notice any link/button.
