English Grammar: Adjective Clauses with Prepositions

Today we’re going to talk about adjective clauses, specifically adjective clauses with prepositions. This is an advanced English grammar topic, and it’s time for you to learn it! We’re talking about sentences such as “The book, in which she discusses her long career, is a real eye-opener.” This lesson explains the construction and use of this clause type and shows you how to reorder sentences in order to find the right object.

Thanks so much, Adam.
I got confused of the questions 1 and 9.
What is the difference between hear of and hear about?

Abdullahaae101

Hi Abdullahaae101,

Good question. Usually hear of means have knowledge, while hear about means have information.

If you never heard of someone, you didn’t know they exists. If you didn’t hear about someone, you know the person but not what he/she did, for example.

Does this help?

Adam

Thank you, Adam!

Hi Sir Adam. This may not related but this from the video, in which you explained the usages of Phrasal verb “set.” I’d like know if it’s necessary to put a preposition here?

Fear sets in ____ my find.

Hi Carlo,

No, the sentence is good as it is. Fear sets in means it takes a hold on the mind.

Hope this helps.

Adam

I need to study the verbs with preposition

To think of
To heard of
To afraid of

I’ve got 40 Sir Adam! 😭😭😭😭

*To be afraid of

It’s a hard topic indeed Carlo.

I’m working on it ;)

Adam

It’s difficult

I’ll try to make an example like this.

The teacher of whom I’m afraid will be here.

Is my sentence correct, Sir Adam? 😅

carlo012717

:)
Technically, yes, but not very comfortable.

Better to be simple:
The teacher (that/whom) I am afraid of will be here.

Sometimes a reduced clause is better.

Adam

Very useful. Thanks

Thank you Adam for sharing the lesson!
I got 10 out 10.

Hi Adam, if possible, please also explain the difference between “in which and where” “at/on which and when” in your upcoming videos. Is it correct to say: “The book where she discusses…” instead of “The book in which she discusses… “?

Saeid525

Hi Saeid,

I’ll do that, but in the meantime, consider the context:

A book is not a place. It is a thing. It holds information inside it; so…
The book in which she discusses… OR
She discusses ___ in the book… (not where)

Hope this helps.

Adam

Only 6 from 10… I will try to improve my knowledge.

It’s all about practice A.G.. Keep at it ;)
