on which 和 in which 都可以用來引導定語從句,修飾先行詞,區別在於介詞on/in 這取決於先行詞的搭配
比如:
I can"t forget the day on which we had a party.這個句子,先行詞是day,原本的搭配是on the day.
I like the room in which there are many toys.這句話的先行詞是room,片語搭配是in the room。
例句:
1.The school (that/which) he once studied in is very famous.
= The school in which he once studied is very famous.
2. I have a dresser in my bedroom, which there are many cosmetics on.
= I have a dresser in my bedroom on which there are many cosmetics.
固定搭配:
The plane may be several hours late, in which case there’s no point in our waiting. (固定搭配:in the case)
The little creature in which scientists are interested is known as ET.
(這裡"be interested in"是片語原因)
例題:
I can’t believe that the restaurant, ______ I have eaten such wonderful meal, is going to be close down. A. where B. at which C. about which
【解答】選B。這個是非限制性定語從句,at which在功能上等於where,但就本題而言只能選at which。因為at which I have eaten such wonderful meal是一個插入語,where固然可以引導,但是由於前面有了一個逗號,就只能用at which了。“我難以相信我曾經在裡面美美地吃過幾頓大餐的飯店就要關張了。”非限制性定語從句主要就是先行詞+逗號“,”+介詞+which或者是先行詞+逗號“,”+which,它和限定性定語從句的最顯著區別一個是有逗號,一個是非限制定語從句總有which。
in which:在......裡面;on which:在......的上面,或具體時間的某一天
