My favoruite toys, PS2 and IPOD, which cost over $3000, are in my car.

Does which refer to IPOD in GMATland or to toys ( so we can use cost instead of costs ) ?

"which" refers to the noun of the main clause and not subordinate clauses/phrase

Main clause: My favourite toys are in my car

Additional info: PS2 and IPOD

Additonal info 2: cost over $3000

My favourite toys, which cost over $3000, are in my car

where do u get these doubts from ...:)

i think ur sentence is right . which refers to the noun in main clause.

so it shud be cost and not costs. ( refers to "toys" )

hope its clear..
