Предлоги + whom / which
В частях с ‘дополнительной информацией’ вы можете употреблять предлоги перед словами whom и which, 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 :
– This is Mr. Carter, who I was telling you about.
– Yesterday we visited the city museum, which I’d never been to before.
