Which vs. Witch
Main DifferenceA comparison note is usually written to differentiate two seemingly alike things. In this case, we have two utmost different things; however, both these words sound the same and are pronounced with the same level of stress. Such words are termed in English grammar as 'Homophones', meaning such pairs of words which sound the same in spite the fact having different spellings as well as meanings. Such words mostly cause confusion among the young learners or the ones who are new to learning English Language, specially Grammar. In this case, 'Which' is a grammatical word and a relative-pronoun, used to related some details to earlier mentioned noun or pronoun working as subject or object in a sentence. For example, 'She claimed her car, which was stolen last weekend,' 'I returned the pair of shoes, which I borrowed from you earlier.' Not only its is used to related in a sentence, but it is also used as Interrogative Pronoun, serving to instigate Interrogative Sentences. In such case, 'Which' is used at the start of a sentence, working as an Interrogative Pronoun. e.g. 'Which book did you buy yesterday?' 'Which movie do you like the most?' On the other hand, the second word of the Homophone pair, 'Witch', has nothing to do with English Grammar. It is a title given to such a women or female, who practice black-magic, or is a sorceress or a female magician. For example, 'I saw a flying female having glittering eyes last night and I concluded she was a Witch', 'Mothers usually frighten their children by threatening them of Witch'.
