What's the difference between "which" and "in which" in the middle of the sentence?

2013-03-26 6:51 am
Please try to make the explanation simple, I simply just want to know when to use "in which" in a sentence, because I often saw "in which" in reading.

1. I saw the bag which is brown.
2. I saw the bag in which is brown. (is this right? if not, how can I use it appropriately? ty)


For example,
The world "in which" we live in.

The world "which" we live in.

What's the difference? I don't know when I should use "in which" and when I should use "which" in sentences like these, please clarify thank you

You see a bag, which is brown. This is because you do not see a bag which is brown in, or a bag which is brown at, or a bag which is brown on. However, there is a world in which we live, because there is a world we live in. If the end of the sentence requires a preposition, that preposition is moved to before the "which." If the sentence does not require a preposition, you do not use one.

We all live in a yellow submarine.
Please visit the submarine in which we live.
("To live in," the verb, requires a preposition, and it ends the sentence. Therefore: "in which.")

This is not true.
You should only tell me that which is true.
("True," the adjective, does not require a preposition. Therefore: "which.")

For example,
The world "in which" we live in. this sentence doesn't need the last "in".it's redundant.

The world "which" we live in.
