By Relative pronouns, Commas

To which, in which etc.consist of a preposition and a relative pronoun. The preposition is usually determined by a verb, noun or adjective. In informal style the preposition is often placed at the end of the relative clause. Examples:This is the house in which he lives. This is the house you...

Hi all Both pronouns are possible, as Kooyeen says. The comma has nothing to do with the relative pronoun but is used because such as No Smoking Day in the UK and the Great American Smokeout is set off with commas. No grammatical rule prevents the use of a comma before that if something else...

I think this would be impossible to distinguish the difference when speaking not writing. If I said: Two men who I had never seen before came into the office, who would know if I used the comma or not and how to interpret it? So in your opinion Kooyeen I can write: Two men I had never seen...

That's a good try, but unfortunately, it won't work. the change in ideas about space and time that Einstein redefined. Now we're working with one of these, depending how we interpret the referent of that. the change that he redefined the ideas that he redefined the space and time...

Which is wrong in Nos. 4 and 5 because the relative pronoun refers to both inanimate things (systems, organizations) and people (people, leaders). In these sentences that is the only alternative. No comma is required in either sentence.Some people consider that a better choice if the antecedent...

'Precious' is too strong a word-- it sounds overly sycophantic.Yes, 'to which' probably refers to 'a phase' if we must select a word (the commas are strange and distracting) in #1-- but it could as well refer to 'Art'. In cannot be 'life' because we do not turn to life in moments of leisure!In...
