прочтите Unit 91.
(a) Предлоги + whom / which
В частях с 'дополнительной информацией' вы
можете употреблять предлоги перед словами
whom (о людях) и which (о вещах), то есть
вы можете сказать to whom, with whom,
about which, for which и т.д.:
- Mr. Carter, to whom I spoke on the phone last night,
is very interested in our plan.
- Fortunately we had a map, without which we would have got lost.
Однако в разговорном английском мы часто ставим
предлог после глагола в уточняющей части
предложения. Когда мы так делаем, то обычно
употребляем who (а не 'whom'):
- This is Mr. Carter, who I was telling you about.
- Yesterday we visited the city museum, which I'd never been to before.
(b) All of / most of и т.д. + whom / which
Рассмотрите пример:
- Jack has three brothers, all of whom are married.
- Ann has a lot of books, most of which she hasn't read.
Вы также можете сказать:
|
none of/many of/much of/(a) few of/ some of/any of/half of/each of/ both of/neither of/either of/ one of/two of и т.д. |
+ whom (люди) + which (предметы) |
- He tried on three jackets, none of which fitted him.
- Two men, neither of whom I had seen before, came into my office.
с Which (но не 'what')
Рассмотрите пример:
- Jim passed his driving test, which surprised everybody.
В этом примере which = тот факт, что он прошел
тест по вождению. Нельзя употреблять what вместо
which в таких предложениях:
- She couldn't come to the party, which was a pity. (а не 'what was a pity')
- The weather was very good, which we hadn't expected.
(а не 'what we hadn't expected')
