1. Look at the sentences from the reading
passage and answer the questions.
Questions
1. What do “which” and “whom” refer to in each sentence
2. Why do we use prepositions before “which” and “whom”
3 In sentence (a), can we replace "in which" with"where"
without changing the meaning
Yes.
a ...they could increase the areas in which they
could grow rice.
b ...these terraces still mean a lot to the local
people for whom traditions hold much value.
Because “which” and “whom” serve as the object of the action phrases that end with a preposition.
Grammar
a ...they could increase the areas in which they
could grow rice.
b ...these terraces still mean a lot to the local
people for whom traditions hold much value.
Compare them with the following sentences and
answer the questions.

Grammar
Questions
4. What is the difference between the two groups of
sentences?
5 Why does the author choose to use sentences (a) and (b) in the reading passage
Sentences (a) and (b) both contain a clause defining a
noun in the sentence.
Sentences (c) and (d) are constructed with a pair of
simple sentence, with one defining a noun in the other
sentence in each pair.
Because there is a closer link and connection between the item and the clause defining it in sentences (a) and (b). It will also make the passage clearer, and create an emphatic effect on the objects being defined.
Grammar
Now look for more sentences
with these structures
in the reading passage.

1) 使用“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句的
情况
当关系代词在定语从句中作介词的宾语时,通常用
“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句。如果关系代词在句中指人,则用“介词+ whom”;如果指物,则用“介词+ which”。
例如:
a. The man by whom the thief was caught was a
good policeman.
那个抓住小偷的男人是个优秀的警察。
b. This is the reason for which I was praised by
my chemistry teacher.
这就是我得到化学老师表扬的原因。
Grammar
2)介词选用的规则
介词的选择要根据其与先行词的关系以及句意决定,在定语从句中,经常可以根据谓语动词的搭配习惯来确定介词。
3)其他注意事项
含有介词的动词固定短语在定语从句中一般不拆开,在这种情况下,介词仍然放在后面,如hear from, look after等。而在介词处于句尾时,句中的关系代词可以省略。例如:
Grammar
a. I met the child (whom) | looked after ten years ago.
我遇到了十年前我照料过的那个孩子。
b. I wanted to visit the house (which) my
grandparents Iived in.
我想去看看我祖父母曾经居住过的房子。
