hello
I'm cuneyt Ozdemir from Turkey
Can you tell me these sentences are true or not:
1.The house of the woman who went to Spain was sold
2. The house which belongs to the woman who went to Spain was sold

First sentence is the exact translation to my language but second one "belongs to added to make the sentence meaningful.I know we can say this way also
The woman whose house was sold went to Spain.
but translation to my language change this time,briefly
1. or 2. sentence correct thanks again

The three sentences are correct. Make your choice according to the "theme" of the sentence: if your emphasis is on the house, you may want to use the first or the second sentence. If the emphasis is on the woman, then the third sentence will be more appropriate.
