情况
用法

先行词只用that,不用which,指物
宜用which，不用that
as/which的区别
❶
先行词是序数词或形容词最高级时
关系词前有介词
只用as:
先行词被such和the same修饰，或句型as many(much)中。
无先行词的定语从句中用as/which引导
❷
先行词被all/every/no/some/any/little/much/the only/the very/few等词修饰时
引导非限制性定语（有逗号隔开的句子）从句
as:“正如.....一样”，可置句首。也可在另处。
❸
先行词既有人又有物时
先行词本身是that
❹
先行词在主句中做表语

❺
主句是以which开头的特殊疑问句时
which只能放句中。
❻
先行词为all/much/little/none/few/something/anything等不定代词
