Hi, my qs are: 1.Like proper nouns or possessive adj+n (mostly)before relative pronouns, can I say what comes after games or sport nouns(e.g.The computer games,Horse riding,Football....etc.) tends to be a non-defining relative clause?
e.g.Horse riding,which is Andy's favorite sport, is dangerous.
2.As I know,the relative adv "where"must be preceded by a place noun and followed by subject.But what about this sentence?
"The house which I bought is very expensive." Can I use "where" instead.
@Alex80,
"Where" refers to place or position. It doesn't refer to particular things.
@Alex80,
…"tends to be a non-defining relative clause"
The difference is 'the', which indicates a specific something, and the next clause DEFINES it.
Computer games, which have been around since the home computer was first invented, have proven detrimental to children's education.
The computer games that he likes are all those violent ones.
