Hi,
I have the following sentence: "We passed a giant toadstool in the forest, under which fairies were sitting."
1. In the above sentence can you help identify the word "which" is referencing?
(Not understanding this grammar function properly means I misinterpret the meaning of the sentence sometimes).
My understanding is that "which" usually reference the noun it comes after but sometimes it can be a bit confusing.
I have underlined/colour coded some possibilities below:
a) "We passed a giant toadstool in the forest, under which fairies were sitting."
b) "We passed a giant toadstool in the forest, under which fairies were sitting."
c) "We passed a giant toadstool in the forest, under which fairies were sitting."
Which one is correct understanding out of the above and why?
