In fact I am a junior English teacher but English is not my mother tongue. I would like to understand the difference between "where" and "which" in relative clause. In some cases they are very confusing. For example, "school". School can be a place but I remember having seen something like "she went to the school which ...... " or " .....the school where..... "
do you understand my questions?
By the way I have another question about relative clause
main clause: Thailand Bank is an international bank.
another clause: Its service is effective and excellent
so, if I want to combine these two clauses. Which one of the following is correct??
A. Thailand Bank, whose service is effective and excellent, is an international bank.
OR
B. Thailand Bank is an international bank, whose service is effective and excellent
I think in the non-defining cases both A and B is correct. (But I am not 100% sure...)
How about the defining cases?
C. Thailand Bank whose service is effective and excellent, is an international bank.
D. Thailand Bank is an international bank whose service is effective and excellent
I think only D is correct in this case. However I am not sure how to explain it.
In general, looking at the big picture, A, B, C, and D. Which one looks the most naturally correct?
Thanks all!
