Last week, we had a examination.There is one grammar problem which killed 90% of us!
And the teacher can't explain why the answer "B" is right.
We are all crazy!!!!
here it is:
I looked through the window,________ I saw the church.
A.from which B.from where C.from that D.WTF?
Which one will you choose?
The same with me:A?
or the "right" answer:B?
or D?
Please tell your reason.
I'd say you can say both. From which and from where. But from where sounds more natural to me.
Your teacher included "WTF" as an option?
i'd say "from there". but thinking about and answer B indeed is correct one, because "from which" would mean like you watched from the window, what is not so, because you watched from the place where you been located watching through the window
'lerning English with joint'
There are a lot of native English speakers on the forum. Hope they can help you.
Yoda, where are you when we really need you here?
I'd say it depends on the context. It can be A and B.
lol Sunshine would failed English exam in China
Sunshine, can you tell what different beetwin "from" and "out of", "jump from plane" or "jump out of plane"?
because in Russian, for example, those are exactly the same.

"от" и "из"
beetwin

Please tell your reason.
It is "B", for sure.
I'm not well versed enough to describe a proper reason, but here goes..
The emphasis of that sentence seems to be "you looking at a church".
Answer "A" attempts to emphasize the window itself.
Answer "B" tells us where YOU were while looking at the church.
So in summary, answer "A" sounds like shit..

also you would rather watched 'out of' a window to chorch and 'from' a window to chorch would measured the distance, right? or both sound good in the context where you watched on chorch?

Sounds both weird. There are no real grammar rules in English when to use which preposition in which situation. You have to know it by heart and that is a real pain.
ok, so how would you say- it comes from heart, or out of heart?
from the heart, I guess.
natives dont help much..
Easiest way:
*point* "Church."
at least you have tried
Your teacher included "WTF" as an option?
Only three choices,D is my joke.:p
i'd say "from there". but thinking about and answer B indeed is correct one, because "from which" would mean like you watched from the window, what is not so, because you watched from the place where you been located watching through the window

sounds reasonable....

well,only 1 point he lost

Please tell your reason.
The reason B is correct on the grammar question is because the preposition (through) is clarifying the location, and not the window itself.
But the sentence is awkward. We would say, "I saw the church though the window." There is no doubt you would be "looking through the window" to see the church.

well,I think it is hard to pronounce,but we had to choose the better one.
...
As example... in german a and b is correct.
a. = durch welches / von welchem
b. = von wo

interesting
B is correct...but like Sunshine said...people don't really talk like that. A could be correct if you changed the verbiage.
Question:
How did you see the church if you were inside?
Answer:
I looked through the window and I could see the church from there.

They mean the same thing depending on how you word it...
For example:
Question:
Specifically, how did he exit the plane?
He jumped out of the plane from the door.
He jumped from the plane out of the door.
