●Grammar and usage
The grammar item in this unit will still deal with attributive clauses. You are first expected to learn about the attributive clause introduced by a preposition + which and a preposition + whom. You will also learn how to use attributive clauses introduced by the relative adverbs when, where and why.
Step 1: Prep.+ which & prep.+ whom
An attributive clause can be introduced by a prep.+ which/whom and let’s see in what circumstances these two forms are used.
