2.Some people believe the groundhog that (be which ,non-restrictive clause)is a small animal can.
Is 1.= 2.? Thanks!
It should be:
Some believe believe that the groundhog, which is a small animal, can...
I sm sorry in the original I didn't put my question clearly.It shoud be like this:
"Some people believe the groundhog can,which is a small animal."
It is not good Englis, I am afraid.But grammtically it is correct.By the way we can use that instead of which.
In your answer you say "Some people believe that the groundhog, which is a small animal, can...
Please note,It is a complete sentence.
It's not a complete sentence to me- there must be something after can unless it is answering a question or there is something in the context that tells us what the groundhog can do. Then, the relative clause is still in the wrong place; it should come before can. In a non-defining relative clause, we generally use which not that.
