Anonymous  +  302094 Sat, 09 Dec 06 08:51 AM Hello, How do I distinguish between the occasions in which should use "of which", "to which", "in which"...and so on... In short, when do I use what preposition before which?..thank you! Anonymous Prepositions

Also, make searches with "to which" etc (see upper Search box here) and you'll find many related threads with examples such as this Post:297639 Marius Hancu Joined on Wed, Apr 26 2006 Veteran Member 11,673 Prepositions

	Cool Breeze  +  302176 Sat, 09 Dec 06 03:46 PM Which has nothing to do with the choice of preposition. The preposition is determined by the word used in the relative clause. Examples: interested in something: I am interested in this car. This is the car in which I am interested. tell about something: He told me about this book. This is the book about which he told me. look for something: They are looking for this key. I haven't found the key for which they are looking. In spoken English the preposition is often at the end: This is the car (which/that) I am interested in. This is the book (which/that) he told me about. I haven't found the key (which/that) they are looking for.
