Join the sentences with attributive clauses

When the relative pronoun is the object of the preposition, we use preposition to begin an attributive clause, that is, preposition + which/whom.当关系代词作介词的宾语时，我们把介词放在定语从句的前面，那就是说，我们通常用介词 +which/whom

In this case, the relative pronoun, which or whom, cannot be replaced with “that” or “who”.

这种情况下，关系代词 which/whom 不能被that/who 替换。同时，关系代词也不能被省略。

Besides, the relative pronoun cannot be left out.
