which

Post by navit »

Which are correct:

1) I told him to go into hiding, which advice he took.

2) They arrested certain men, which men were later freed.
3) Some men were found loitering in the area, which men were arrested.

I think '1' is correct, but it might be very old-fashioned.

Gratefully,
Navi

Yes, rather formal/old-fashioned.

Structures 2 and 3 are archaic/obsolete.
