"What I prefer is to live with people I love. As I can't stay in my family all my life, I have to meet friends. And then, we can also find true love which we'll live. So, I think my way is not living alone."
This is an interesting sentence from the above you've written elsewhere (the rest of its context that you've written is good English):
"And then, we can also found true love which we'll live."
It might be you meant to write something like:
'And then, we can also find true love which we'll live out.'
Or:
'And then, we can also find true love which we'll live by.'
Or, it might be that 'found' would be right. That could be in the case that you meant that true love could be 'founded', or established on foundations, which would be a nice thought!
So, the meaning would be:
"And then, we can also establish the foundations of true love which we'll live out."

Sure not ! But I believe in angel, who are unmaterial, but who are not died humans like the ghosts. Angels never have been human. An example : our guardian angel.
Certainly not! But I believe in angels, who are immaterial, but who are not humans who have died, like ghosts. Angels have never been human. For example: our guardian angel.
I think that love change with the persons. But if one of the lovers change by the bad side, that don't mean that love is destinated to stop. Each lover has to help the other when he is in a hard time of his life. That's the beauty of love : a mutual support.
I think that the way they love changes as people change. But if one of the lovers changes for the worse, that doesn't mean that love has to stop. Each lover has to help the other through hard times in life. That's the beauty of love: mutual support.

Sentence is - We provided her all the basic things that are necessary to start a business.
In this sentence instead of that can we used which also. will that be correct.
wil somebody clarify in which condition that and which are used.------------------------------------
My corrections to your statement:
Use of that/which within a sentence
A sentence is: "We provided her with all the basic things that are necessary to start a business." In this sentence, instead of 'that' can we also use 'which'? Would that be correct? Please could someone clarify in what circumstances 'that' and 'which' are used.That's a question that's difficult to answer!
That's a question difficult to answer!That's a question which is difficult to answer!
All the above would be correct, though the first is best to a native ear, followed closely by the second, then the third.In your sentence, you could, better, leave them out!:
"We provided her with all the basic things necessary to start a business."It is 'provide ... with', or 'supplied ... with' or else, for example: "We gave her all the basic things necessary to start a business."
As to in general when 'that' and/or 'which' might be used, you might look up:

But, I'd be inclined to say it is really a quite delicate matter that requires quite some hands on experience of English writing and speaking for one to be able to intuit what would be used in any given circumstance.
Or:
But, I'd be inclined to say it is really a quite delicate matter, which requires quite some hands on experience of English writing and speaking for one to be able to intuit what would be used in any given circumstance.
I think 'that' is better, in my two sentences, above (and 'that' may be preceded by a comma, as in the use of 'which', though the use of a comma before 'which' is necessary), but one or other of 'that' and 'which' is needed here and cannot be left out, unless one were to say, for example:
"But, I'd be inclined to say it is really a quite delicate matter, requiring quite some hands on experience of English writing and speaking for one to be able to intuit what should be used in any given circumstance."
Sorry that will probably seem complicated to you, but it is complicated!

I like literature and art. Here's a French poem I've rendered into English.
Pierre de Ronsard, Sonnets pour Hélène, 1587
Quand vous serez bien vieille, au soir, à la chandelle,
Assise auprès du feu, dévidant et filant,
Direz, chantant mes vers, en vous émerveillant :
Ronsard me célébrait du temps que j’étais belle.Lors, vous n’aurez servante oyant telle nouvelle,
Déjà sous le labeur à demi sommeillant,
Qui au bruit de mon nom ne s’aille réveillant,
Bénissant votre nom de louange immortelle.Je serai sous la terre et fantôme sans os :
Par les ombres myrteux je prendrai mon repos :
Vous serez au foyer une vieille accroupie,Regrettant mon amour et votre fier dédain.
Vivez, si m’en croyez, n’attendez à demain :
Cueillez dès aujourd’hui les roses de la vie.My version is:
Some night when you're old, solitary, dull,
seeking for warmth from a fire in vain,
reading my verse, you'll of a sudden exclaim:
"Ronsard loved me when I was beautiful".Or lost in slumber in your decline,
embracing oblivion in bleak dismay,
you'll start awake because of my name,
who adorned your name with immortal rhyme.I'll be then a bodiless ghost:
in purple shadows I'll take my rest:
you'll be alone and uncaressed,regretting my love and your proud disdain.
So hear me now, or never again:
let's gather life's roses, and live, aflame.0 votedMay 29, 20130What I like!

It's difficult to know what you wanted to say in putting 'well' where you did!
