Confused of That vs. Which & Will vs. Shall etc.,

Should i use “Will or Shall”? Should i go for “That or Which”? Too many questions…
DailyBlog network site started and managing a site DailyWritingTips to answer all these questions. You can also post your questions to get the answers from them. Here is a sample question from their site

When proofreading a peer’s article on the solar system, I realized that she, and I, are unsure of the proper use of “that” and “which” in a sentence. Below is two examples of the same sentence, one using “that” and the other “which.”

“To our knowledge, it is the only body in the solar system which currently sustains life, although several other bodies are under investigation.”

“To our knowledge, it is the only body in the solar system that currently sustains life, although several other bodies are under investigation.”

Which is the correct sentence, and what is the general rule of thumb?

Look at their site for the answers in the gramner section and get updated about many more questions like above.
