Relative clauses referring to a whole sentence
Some relative clauses refer to a whole clause, a whole sentence, or a longer stretch of language. We always use which to introduce these clauses.
We often use these clauses in informal speaking to express an opinion or evaluation:
I think the other thing that was really good about it as well was that everybody worked really hard and helped tidy up at the end, which I hadn’t expected at all.
Spoken English:
In speaking, a second speaker often uses a which-clause like this to evaluate or give an opinion on something the first speaker has said:
[The speakers are talking about trains. Paddington is a train station in London.]
A:
So it leaves Paddington at 8.30 and it’ll get me into Gloucester at 10.15.
B:
Which is perfect because I can pick you up on my way home. (Speaker B is evaluating the fact that the train gets into Gloucester at 10.15.)
Sometimes the same speaker may add a which-clause after a response by a listener:
A:
I was already working with them doing a temporary job and I was asked if I would go on a permanent contract.
B:
Oh right.
A:
Which I did. (Speaker A was offered a permanent job contract and accepted the offer.)
In speaking we sometimes pause before these clauses:
She just lives six doors away, [pause] which is very handy.

✨Inflectional 🆚 Phrasal Comparison✨
🔹Gradable adjectives of one syllable usually take the inflectional suffix, except for a few forms such as right, wrong and real.
🔹Longer adjectives usually take phrasal comparison, using the degree adverbs more and most, e.g more difficult, most important.
🔸In some cases, monosyllabic adjectives can alternatively take phrasal marking as well as inflectional.
Examples of monosyllabic adjectives with phrasal marking are:
1️⃣"Wouldn't that be MORE FAIR?" she asked. (FICTION)
2️⃣"But Pavarotti is a little fuller in the face." And probably a little MORE FULL by now. (NEWS)
⚠️note the use of monosyllabic full with both comparative forms
3️⃣Our women are MORE FIERCE than our men. (NEWS)
4️⃣"I think this is the one she is MOST PROUD of." (NEWS)
5️⃣We recently had PM even MORE RUDE than Paul Keating. (NEWS)
🔶A possible reason for the choice of the phrasal alternative here is that it makes the comparison more prominent; in speech, the comparison can additionally be stressed for emphasis.

🗣How to Pronounce WILL and WOULD when Showing Annoyance and Criticizing People🗣
✨You must put extra stress on 'will' and the short form cannot be used when you want to show that you are annoyed:
🔹He will keep interrupting me when I'm trying to work.
✨'Would' is also stressed in the same case. In other words, both can be stressed when criticizing people's characteristic behavior or habits:
🔹She will leave the lights on in the house when she goes out.
🔹I was happy when Sam left.He would talk behind their backs.
✨When we use stressed would in this way, we can also use it to talk about a particular occasion in the past.
🤔We suggest that what happened was predictable because it was a typical of a person's behavior:
🔹'Jackie says she can't help because she got a lot of work on.' 'Well she would say that - she always uses this excuse.'
