What is the difference in meaning between "I like animals which are small." and "I like the animals which are small." I think both of the sentences are grammatically correct, but I'm wondering how I should get the nuances of meaning between the sentences.
When someone said "I like the animals which are small.", listeners are supposed to correctly imagine what the animals are?
When someone said "I like the animals which are small.", listeners are supposed to correctly imagine what the animals are?
Top answer
", listeners are supposed to correctly imagine what the animals are? No; the speaker is referring to specific animals which have already appeared in the context. " This, on the other hand, refers to any small animals at any time and place.
