Preposition before which?
Hi, thanks for reading my question.
I was reading a post about preposition before which and the writer said:
Putting the preposition before which is quite formal style. In spoken English the preposition is usually at the end of the relative clause:
This is the kind of music [which/that] he is interested in.
Let's discuss the accident [which/that] they are responsible for
So, where the preposition can go if it is put at the end of the relative clause:
1. We need to get the recipe for her pecan pie, of which we ate more than our share at dinner last Sunday.
We need to get the recipe for her pecan pie, which we ate of more than our share at dinner last Sunday. Is this correct?
2. Here are the three choices, two of which must be eliminated before the day is over.
Where the preposition can go for this sentence?
Thx.
