Anonymous Are these sentences Okay? No, that structure is very awkward and little used. Here are natural examples: He has stayed healthy by jogging for 10 years with his dog following him.

Thank you Mister Micawber,

Could we say that those sentences are grammatically correct but akward and little used?

Would you check these sentences, too?

1. I remember the Friday, on which day he won the contest.

2. I remember the park, in which place I lost my dog.

I am not sure they be called 'correct', since they are so awkward.

1. She may be late, in which case we should leave without her.

2. For British people a garden is an extension of their home, for which reason they buy quite a lot of garden furniture such as chairs and tables.

Are those two also awkward?

Many thanks,

Those are much more natural examples, especially #2, in which the reason is quite a long prefatory clause. #1 would still be much better revised to read She may be late, so we should leave without her.

1. He left yesterday, for which reason his mom is sad now.
2. For British people a garden is an extension of their home, for which reason they buy quite a lot of garden furniture such as chairs and tables.

You said that the No.1 is awkward and No.2 is more natural.
Could you tell me what makes No.1 awkward and No.2 more natural?

Because the 'reason' referred to ins #1 ('he left yesterday') is much shorter and simpler than the 'reason' in #2 ('for British people a garden is an extension of their home').

It is not a thing to be interested in; it is of little practical use, really—you will usually be wrong in applying it.
AnonymousCould any of these three(#1~3) be used as a relative clause like #4? would you make any examples of them?
