Can you tell us some examples from which we can learn the solutions.

Is this correct and natural?
If there's a much better way to say, please could you tell me?

Thanks

Hi,

Can you tell us some examples from which we can learn the solutions.

Is this correct and natural? No. Examples don't have or require solutions.
If there's a much better way to say, please could you tell me?
Are you thinking of 'problems'? eg

Can you give us some problems. so that we can learn by finding the  solutions?

Best wishes, Clive

I understand. Thank you, Clive.Smile [:)] The period in the middle could be a comma, right?

Can I say:

Can you tell me some websites from which we can download various English learning software?

I also want to know whether various softwares is possible?

Thanks

Hi,

I understand. Thank you, Clive.Smile <img src=" src="/emoticons/emotion-1.gif"> The period in the middle could be a comma, right? Yes, sorry.

'From which' is fine.

'Software' is uncountable.

from which we can download English learning software

from which we can download some English learning software

from which we can download various pieces of English learning software

from which we can download various English learning software packages / applications

Rather than 'English learning software', it's better to say 'software for learning English'.

Best wishes, Clive
