preposition + which

Hi teachers and students,

I have trouble with using [preposition + which] construction. Everytime when I try to come up with a sentence, where this construction is used, as an excerise, my mind goes blank. If you ask me to utter a sentence with, e.g., at which and from which, I'm unable to come up with one on the spot. Am I the only who has trouble with this construction? And the thing is when these construction are used in books and articels, I can't get used to it; it sounds very alien to me.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

You can practice by making up a sentence with a prepositional phrase at the end. Note the last word. Then incorporate your sentence into a larger sentence that has that last word in it.

They took shelter in the house.
We saw the house in which they took shelter.
