Relative pronouns_which (rare usage)

1. Quantifiers and numbers with relative pronouns

 We often use quantifiers and numbers with relative pronouns:
many of whom - most of whom - one of which - none of whom
some of which - lots of whom - two of which - etc.
We can use them as subject, object or object of a preposition.
She has three brothers two of whom are in the army.
I read three books last week, one of which I really enjoyed.
There were some good programmes on the radio, none of which I listened to.

2. Using  "which" to give more information

We often use the relative pronoun which to say something about a clause:
He was usually late, which always annoyed his father.
We’ve missed our train, which means we may be late.
