What are the rules in punctuation using the relative pronoun which?
I like the bag, which is currently on display.
He wants to cook the food which has lots of spices.
Which one is correct?
I like the bag which is currently on display.
I’m unclear as to the intended meaning of your second sentence. Do you mean he wants to cook some spicy food or do you mean out of the types of food on offer he wants to cook the type that uses a lot of spices?
The meaning will have a bearing on whether the sentence is correct or not.
the latter one, Beeesneees
In that case, it’s correct.
He wants to cook the food which has lots of spices.
Could this sentence be said this way below
He wants to cook the food with lots of spices in it.
Thanks
Yes.
“I like the bag, which is currently on display.” (with comma)
This means: I like the bag (we already know exactly which one I’m taking about), and by the way, it is currently on display.
“I like the bag which is currently on display.” (without comma)
This means: I like the bag that is on display now, and not some other one.
“He wants to cook the food which has lots of spices.” (without comma)
This means: He wants to cook the food that has lots of spices, and not some other food.
“He wants to cook the food, which has lots of spices.” (with comma)
This means: He wants to cook that food (we already know exactly which food it is), and by the way, it has lots of spices.
A better, more common way to say this would be: “He wants to cook the food THAT has lots of spices.”
