How do you know when to use which in a sentence?

Answer 1

When asking a question, the words "which" and "what" are frequently misused.

"What" is used to ask a question when there are an unknown number of possible answers. "Which" is used to ask a question when there are a fixed number of possible answers.

Correct:

What is your favorite color?

Answer 2

You use "or" when you want to show that there's an option. eg. if you have an apple and a banana, and you're asking someone which one they prefer, you could phrase the sentence as "would you prefer an apple or a banana?"

Answer 3

Starting a question with What or Which can be a bit tricky, but one of the basic rules or guidelines will have to do with the content of the question. The word What can be used to begin most any question; What is your hair color? What time is it? What language do you speak most fluently.

Which is most strictly used for a known or obvious set of choices. Where this is unclear, what is usually acceptable and is preferred in some cases.
