Hello everyone,
I'm wondering about the rule for using "which" or "what" as a question-word at the beginning of a sentence. Below is the original sentence I've taken from "Oxford Grammar Course Advanced" by Michael Swan and Catherine Walter.
"What country won the last World Cup?" (this sentence is from the Grammar Book). Is it possible to use "which" here and will anything change in the meaning: "Which country won the last World Cup?"
Another sentence from the same Grammar Book: "Which team won?" Is it possible to say "What team won?"
