I am just wondering, in SC, when would we use "which". Can someone explain that to me?

Which Vs That...
One of the most dreaded topics
Here's my explanation..
"Which" : Non restrictive modifier=> means that it conveys extra information..
e.g
Bring me my cap, which is RED
Here my cap being RED is just extra info
"That" : Restrictive modifier=> means the information which is is absolutely required.
e.g
Bring me my cap that is RED
Here i am asking to bring the cap that HAS to be RED, i dont want any other cap.
We have to know when we should use "which" and when "that".
GMAT tricks:
1)Generally speaking a comma"," precedes a which.
2)A which should point to the noun just before that comma.Like in my example "which" is pointing to cap.
3)Which should not point to an idea
Anything that doesnt comes under the 3 points listed above needs "that".
Hope it helps.
