Question

Is there a difference between these sentences?
It's about Relative Clause.

- We bought some oranges.
- The oranges were sour.

a. The oranges which we bought were sour.
b. We bought some oranges which were sour.

Which one of those is correct? is there a difference?

Answer

Both sentences are correct. The only difference is the sentence a) emphasizes the oranges,, since it is the subject, whereas sentence b) emphasizes 'we' since it is the subject of that sentence. Either way the sentences mean the same thing.

I hope this helps you and answers your question

Answer

Both sentences are correct, but the topic of the first sentence is "the oranges". The topic of the second sentence is "we".
