    Use/ prepositional pronoun
    Message from san99 posted on 07-06-2012 at 20:04:55 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    Could you help me please?
    I am good at relative pronouns, but I feel confused when I use prepositional pronouns. So I am writing a few sentences below and I would appreciate if you could check them and correct me if I am wrong at any point.

    1.The promise by which we were tired had been broken so badly
    2.The recipe by which this food is cooked is not much common.
    3.The boat on which we were sailed had a hole in it.
    4.The letter to which/in which he wrote the reason of his absence was torn off.
    5.This is the book in which he left his signature in a bold blue color.
    6.The bedsheet on which the tea spilled last night is not in the laundry.
    7.This is inscription in which he clearly depicted the four reasons of feeling lonely.
    8.This table on which he left a message for me was dusty.
    9.This is the guy for which she scarified her entire life.
    10.The robe with which I tied myself on the cliff broken off due to high pressure and weight.

    Hello!
    Could you tell me what this sentence means please? I can't get the sense of it.
    "The robe with which I tied myself on the cliff broken off due to high pressure and weight."
    (What does "robe" mean? And where is the verb "is" here("is broken")?

    Hello.
    It's a typing error. It should be rope. The correction shows that it isn't broken, but broke. Sherry

    Yes, it was a typo error to write robe, it should be rope. Thank you all for helping me understand the use of prepositional pronoun better.
    Thank you
