all the information that/which you've collected

[joham]

Please send me all the information that/which you've collected.

Can we also use which in the above sentence?

 

[probus]

As between "that" and "which", you can use either.

You can also use neither. "The information you've collected" is also perfectly natural.

Thanks a lot, probus. I came across this test question and suspected both A and B are OK for the blank:

Please send us all the information _______ you have about the candidate for the position.
A. that B. which C. as D. what

The given answer is A. I think the test question setters made a question like this according to the grammar rules like the following:

Martin Hewings' ADVANCED GRAMMAR IN USE:
We use that as subject after something and anything; words such as all, little, much, and none
used as nouns; and superlatives. (Which is also used as subject after something and anything, but
less commonly.) We use that or zero relative pronoun as object after these:
These walls are all that remain of the city, (not ...all which remain...)
She's one of the kindest people (that) I know, (not ...who I know.)
Is there anything (that) I can do to help? (rather than ...anything which I can do...)

Then can we conclude 'all +that clause' is OK (NOT: ALL WHICH...) but all the + noun that/which is OK too?

I would use only A. "that" in your test question.

 

[MikeNewYork]

I would accept either, but I prefer "that".

@bhaisahib and MikeNewYork: How do you feel about "all the information you have collected"?

 

[tedmc]

I think it sounds better without 'that' and 'which'.

It is like saying: the work you have done, the places you have visited...

@bhaisahib and MikeNewYork: How do you feel about "all the information you have collected"?

I like it.

Do you like 'all the information collected by you'?

Not a teacher.

 

[bhaisahab]

Not so much.
