When can I skip the relative pronoun "which" in a sentence?
Let's take the following:
[...] Where along the long shore, which is full of white sands, the gloom of evening engulfs my heart.
In this sentence, if I remove the words "which is" and simply say "where along the long shore, full of white sands, the gloom of evening engulfs my heart" is it acceptable?
Not only is the sentence grammatically acceptable without “which is”, it is arguably better in terms of narrative flow.
