Which

Can "which" be used to refer to a plural noun or two nouns?

"The cakes, which...."

"A and B, which....."

Or is just for singular antecendets?

Thank you.

I am not quite sure what you are asking here. But to explain the differences for you. WHICH is a non-restrictive word and THAT is a restrictive word.

ex. the cars after the lamp post, which are red.

It can be used in both cases.
