3、butive Clause (in/ for/ with/ bywhich/ whom), that is, the attributive clauses with a preposition ahead of the relative pronoun shown in the sentences. For reference: The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other as well as played music. However, after a year or so in which th

Look at the two sentences: The musicians of whom the band was formed played jokes on each other as well as
5、played music. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, “The Monkees” started to play their own instruments and write their own songs like a real band. Pay attention to the structure: preposition + relative pronoun. Usually only two relative pronouns - which and
6、 whom- can be used in the Attributive Clause, with a preposition put before the clause. That cant be used. Look at the screen. Here are more examples on this kind of structure. 1.This is the reason for which he left his hometown. (=why)2.Ill never forget the day on which we stayed together. (=when)3
7、.This is the girl from whom I learned the news.4.The person to whom I spoke just now is the manager that I told you about. 5.Ill show you a store in which you may buy all that you need.(=where)6.I dont like the way in which you laughed at her.(=that)Now go on to do Exercise No. 2 on page 36, that is
8、, to sort out the sentences. III. Ready used materials for The Attributive Clause (in/ for/ with/ bywhich/ whom) In formal styles we often put a preposition before the relative pronouns which and whom:The rate at which a material heats up depends on its chemical composition.In the novel by Peters, o
9、n which the film is based, the main character is a teenager.An actor with whom Gelson had previously worked contacted him about the role.Her many friends, among whom I like to be considered, gave her encouragement.Notice that after a preposition you cant use who in place of whom, and you cant use th
10、at or zero relative pronoun either:Is it right that politicians should make important decisions without consulting the public to whom they are accountable? (not - the public to who they are accountable.)The valley in which the town lies is heavily polluted. (not - The valley in that the town.)Arnold
11、 tried to gauge the speed at which they were traveling. (not - the speed at they were traveling.)In informal English we usually put the preposition at the end in attributive clauses rather than at the beginning:The office which Graham led the way to was filled with books.Jims footballing ability, wh
12、ich he was noted for, had been encouraged by his parents.The playground wasnt used by those children who it was built for.In this case we prefer who rather than whom (although whom is used in formal contexts). In restrictive attributive clauses we can also use that or zero relative pronoun instead o
13、f who or which (e.g. .the children (that) it was built for).If the verb in attributive clauses is a two-or-three-word verb (e.g. come across, fill in, go through, look after, look up to, put up with, take on) we dont usually put the preposition at the beginning: Your essay is one of those (which/tha
14、t) Ill go through tomorrow. (rather than.through which Ill go tomorrow.) She is one of the few people (who/that) I look up to. (not . to whom I look up.)In formal written English, we often prefer to use of which rather than whose to talk about things:A huge amount of oil was spilled, the effects of
15、which are still being felt. (or.whose effects are still being felt.)The end of the war, the anniversary of which is on the 16th of November, will be commemorated in cities throughout the country. (or.whose anniversary is on.)Note that we cant use of which in place of whose in the patterns described
16、in Unit 71B:Dorothy was able to switch between German, Polish and Russian, all of which she spoke fluently. (not.,all whose she spoke.)We can sometimes use that.of in place of of which. This is less formal than of which and whose, and is mainly used in spoken English:The school that she is head of i
17、s closing down. (or The school of which she is head.)Whose can come after a preposition in attributive clauses. However, it is more natural to put the preposition at the end in less formal contexts and in spoken English:We were grateful to Mr. Marks, in whose car we had traveled home. (or.whose car
18、we had traveled home in.)I now turn to Freud, from whose work the following quotation is taken. (or.whose work the following quotation is taken from.)IV. Closing down by doing exercises:Join the sentence halves using which or whom after an appropriate preposition. (A)a. I would never have finished t
19、he work. b. It was primarily written.c. We know nothing.d. They got a good view.e. He learned how to play chess.f. Dennis scored three goals in the final.g. She was born. h.

There are still many things in our solar system.Key for reference:1.They climbed up to the top of a large rock, fro
21、m which they got a good view.2. I would like to thank my tutor, without whom I would never have finished the work.3. She has now moved back to the house on Long Island, in which she was born.4.

There are still many things in our solar system, about which we know nothing.Are these correct or appropr
23、iate? If they are, put a. If they are not, give a reason, correct them and give alternatives if you can. (A)I. Its a piece of jewelry across which I came in an antique shop. - which I came across in an antique shop. (came across is a two-word verb.)2. The extra work which she took on was starting to
24、 affect her health.3. My mother, after whom I looked for over 20 years, died last year.4. The people whom I work with are all very friendly.5.

25、 is engaged comes from Poland.8. The forms which I had to fill in were very complicated.Rewrite these sentences so that they are more appropriate for formal written English. Use preposition + which or preposition + whose, as appropriate. (B)I.Tom Sims, whose car the weapons were found in, has been a
