I've just seen a scary movie at home,which terrifies me a lot
Can 'which' refer to 'a scary movie' or does it just refer to the whole clause?
I've just seen a scary movie at home,which terrifies me a lot.
Top answer
When you use a comma, then "which", it almost always refers to the whole clause. So in this case "seeing a scary movie" is what terrifies you a lot. You can refer just to the scary movie by removing the comma, and preferably using "terrifie d " because you have finished seeing the movie.
