Grammar
"which phrases" - in which, for which, to which etc
Hi there boys and girls or ladies and gentlemen
I have sometimes problems with understanding the meanning of which-phrases such as
"for which", "in which", "to which", "after which" etc.
There are loads of them out there and I found out that these which phrases can sometimes
be substituted with one words synonyms.
can someone explain to me what they mean in terms of synonyms.
The ones I have major problems with are:
across which
after which
against which
along which
amid which
among which
around which
as which
at which
by which
for which
in which
into which
of which
off which
on which
onto which
to which
under which
upon which
I would appreciate if you could help me guys since I couldn't find anything on the Internet.
Cheers

Hi,
All of them are prepositions followed by the relative pronoun 'which'. The pronoun 'which' is the object of the preposition; 'which' shows what thing (or things) is meant and introduces relative clause.
For example:
against which: It was his idea against which (the idea) we strongly opposed .
along which: We walk along the road which (the road) was win

this really helped me to learn these word combinations from different angle.
Do you perhaps know any book or online worksheets where I can learn these phrases?
This would be terrific and allow me to go deep on it as I believe it will improve my written English
substantially.
