Use “that” with restrictive clauses. A restrictive clause is one that limits — or restricts –the identity of the subject in some way. When writing a restrictive clause, introduce it with the word “that” and no comma. (However, if the subject is or was a human being, use “who” to introduce the clause.)
B. The car that I want to buy is awfully expensive. (One hint is that restrictive clauses do not need commas to set them off.)
(Use “which” with nonrestrictive clauses, and set them off with a comma.)

B “That I want to buy” Which car is awfully expensive? The one that I want to buy. It’s usually called a restrictive *relative* clause.
