The coat in the suitcase that...
Are these sentences correct:
1-The coat in the suitcase that had stained sleeves belonged to me.
2-The coat in the suitcase, which had stained sleeves belonged to me.
In each case, the coat has stained sleeves. In 1 the clause is defining (there are more than one coats) and in 2 non-defining (there is only one coat).
3-I repaired the wheel of the bicycle that was warped.
4-I repaired the front wheel of the bicycle, which was warped.
In each case the wheel is warped. In 3 the clause is defining (restrictive) and in 4 non-defining (non-restrictive).
Gratefully,
Navi.
