Lesson 53: Using Prepositions in Relative Clauses

Structure:

Main Clause + Relative Pronoun + Preposition + Object

Examples:

1. With People:

   • Preposition at the end:
     • "The person who I was talking to is my teacher." 
   • Preposition at the beginning (formal or in writing):
     • "The person to whom I was talking is my teacher." 

2. With Things:

   • Preposition at the end:
     • "The book which I am interested in is on the table." 
   • Preposition at the beginning (formal or in writing):
     • "The book in which I am interested is on the table." 

Tips:

• Informal vs. Formal: In informal speech, it's common to place the preposition at the end of the relative clause. In more formal contexts, the preposition can be placed at the beginning, before the relative pronoun.

• Avoiding Prepositions: Sometimes, the preposition can be omitted if it doesn't change the meaning.

  • "The place where we met is closed."
