Hello!
I'm a bit confused about how to use 'which'. I'd use it a lot but a few years ago, my teacher corrected me and told me that whenever you have a sentence and then a comma followed by 'which', 'which', in the second clause, makes reference to the previous noun ('physically' speaking). For example:
'He closed the door, which made her jump.' Here, according to my teacher, 'which' would mean 'the door' or something like that. At least, that's what I understood.
But what happenes when I want the 'which' to mean the action? For example: 'The sickness can spread throughout the body, which can be dangerous'. For instance, how could I do this (properly) with the example about the door???
Thank you :-D
