Grammar Help Needed!
I hope everyone is doing okay!
I have grammar confusion that I need some help with. I usually put a comma before "which", except when I use it in this form "in which".
-- The word choices are positive traits, which inspire imagination.
-- ...a wheelchair, which I thought is important...
-- The part in which the princess fell asleep.
Are there situations when a comma is incorrect before "which"?
Thanks

If "which" can be replaced with "that", a comma is unnecessary.PeterRabitt20 wrote: ↑28 Feb 2022, 13:03 Hi,
