[Grammar] of which ,to whom,and of whom

[mrmvp]

I can not use these words correctly "of which ,to whom,and of whom, most of whom , most of which"

Because I do not use them at all, I avoid using them in writing instead I write short sentences.

Thank you.

I can not use [STRIKE]these words[/STRIKE] the following correctly: of which, to whom, of whom, most of whom, most of which.

Because I do not use them at all, I avoid using them in writing. Instead, I write short sentences.

Thank you.

For example,
I have four cars. Three of my four cars are red.
I have four cars, three of which are red.

He three sisters. He is always rude to them.
He has three sisters to whom he is always rude.

He has three sisters. Two of them are graduates.
He has three sisters, two of whom are graduates.

Do you think you can write examples for "most of whom" and "most of which"? ;-)
Don't worry too much about the length of the sentence.

Are the following sentences correct?

1 I have five cars all of which are practical.

2 There are three places of which I have to visit.

3 She made cookies most of which are delicious.

4 I Met him in the restaurant in which we had dinner yesterday.

5 There are three sacred mosques to which Muslims pray at ( if I say, there are three sacred mosques which Muslims pray at.Is it correct ?

6 There are about five tourist attractions in the UAE, but three of which deserve visiting

7I sent a message to whom you met yesterday.

8 He killed four innocent people, three of whom are students.

#1 is missing a comma.
#2 is doesn't work- how many do you have to visit?
#3 is missing a comma.
#4 is okay.
#5 is unclear- what do you mean by "pray at"?
#6 would be okay if you remove "but", use "major tourist attractions", change "deserve" to "are worth", and end your sentence with a full stop.
#7 needs a space before "I". It's grammatical but very unusual.
#8 would be okay if you change "are" to "were".

Make the changes and post the amended sentences below.

7 doesn't work. "I sent a message to whom you met yesterday" is incorrect.

I sent a message to the person [who] you met yesterday.
