| For English people or Ishimaru (xD), I need your help. Do you say "What apple do you want ?" OR "Which apple do you want ?" Because my English teacher says What, but Blood, Emy, friends and I are saying "which", it sounds better, no ? and could you tell me why it's which or what, because she doesn't want to tell me that I am right >.> Thanks a lottttt !! (Your favorite moderator  ) And if Ishimaru is ok, I add 5 points for the member who tells me the good answer and why xD) _________________  |

| It depends of the situation.  Like: the guy show you 2 apples, he'll ask you: Which one do you want ? If you go shopping with your mom, she'll ask you: What apple do you want ? Well, That's the teacher way, I guess... XD But ''which'' when there's a thousand of apple wouldn't be really normal. oO _________________  |

| I would say "What", if the apples to choose from wasn't specified, however if there was a selection, it would be "which". |

| yes he is wrong! actually now that i think about it, "what" should never be used: > which apple would you like? > which apple, red or green? "what" doesn't seem to fit this tense now I think about it... It should be used when nothing is specified: > What would you like for dinner? |
