Question

Books and clothes that/which I like were bought in US.

2 The box on the table which is made of wood was bought in US.
3 The box on the table, which is made of wood, was bought in US.

Which one is grammatically correct?
If 1 or 2 or both are correct, which one is made of wood, the box or the table?

This is the least ambiguous:

I like all the books and clothes that I bought in US.

AnonymousWhich one is grammatically correct?

All of them are grammatically correct.

AnonymousIf 1 or 2 or both are correct, which one is made of wood, the box or the table?

The sentences are ambiguous.
Just because a sentence is unclear, it does not mean that it is ungrammatical.

These are clearer:

1 The wooden box on the table was bought in US.
1 The box on the wooden table was bought in US.
1 The box made of wood which is on the table was bought in US.

Thanks for your reply.

So it is not impossible to tell which one (or both?) is made of wood (from/in/according?) this sentence, is it?
