Adjective or Adverb ? A QUICK REMINDER

An adjective describes a noun or pronoun: "That boy is so loud!"

An adverb describes a verb or anything apart from a noun and pronoun: "That boy speaks so loudly!"

Adverbs are used to answer how questions e.g. "How does he talk? - He talks loudly."

Object vs Subject QUICK REMINDER

To figure out things such as when to use who or whom or lay or lie, you need to be able to identify the subject and object of a sentence.

Fortunately, it's easy! The subject is the person or thing doing something, and the object is having something done to it.
Just remember the sentence I love you.

"I" is the subject of the sentence. "You" is the object of the sentence and also the object of my affection. How’s that? You are the object of my affection and the object of my sentence. It’s like a Valentine’s Day card and grammar trick all rolled into one.

What is predicate ? QUICK REMINDER

The predicate is the part of a sentence (or clause) that tells us what the subject does or is. To put it another way, the predicate is everything that is not the subject.

generis i am glad you like this initiative :) okay here is a sentence :-)

"I can write a book about how different people use the word “tomorrow” in each context, which in case is published, will become a best-seller."

Now question: is it a grammatically correct sentence? 

“which” logically must refer to the “book” but which is preceded by “context”, “tomorrow” isn’t it ambiguous sentence ? or is it correct ?

relative pronoun "which" is preceeded by comma and followed by dependant clause. is it correct ?
