REFLECTION OF / FLY OUT OF /FROM

Question

Could you please help me with these sentences?

- What is that the reflection of? (pointing at a mirror)
- What is the mirror giving the reflection of? (looking at a reflection and not knowing where its coming from?) Does the bold sound right?

- Is it cheaper to fly out of/from NY?
- You can't leave before the 5th as that would mean that yu would be staying more the 3 months.

Thank you

- What is that the reflection of?

- Whose reflection is that?
- What's reflection is that?
This depends on if it is a person (who) or thing (what).

- What is the mirror giving the reflection of?
- What is the mirror reflecting?
Do not use a preposition at the end of a sentence. Reflect is a verb; you need not say "give reflection of."

- (looking at a reflection and not knowing where its coming from?)
- (looking at a reflection and not knowing from where it is coming)
Drop the question mark. Move the preposition before the pronoun. "Its" is a possessive pronoun.

- Is it cheaper to fly out of/from NY?
- Is it cheaper to fly from NY?
Avoiding double prepositions is a good rule of thumb.

- You can't leave before the 5th as that would mean that yu would be staying more the 3 months.
- You cannot leave before the fifth as that would mean you would be staying more than three months.
The second "that" is unnecessary. More "than" is needing in the comparative form.
