Relative clause
Hello.
There was a sentence which is "There are the stars giving lots of lights which can't be seen by normal telescopes."
And we discussed about it.
What can't be seen? Lights or Stars?
Some people here said "now lights. If you put a comma before "which", it means: "stars" ".
But I learned that if we use relative clause, we can put two commas or no commas. We don't have any chance to put "one comma" for a relative clause.
And now,
How do we understand what can't be seen? Because when we look at the meaning of the sentence, both of them look like possible. What do you think?
