[General] Photo is of

[suniljain]

Suppose some one has displayed the photo in Whats APP and I want to know the place where the Photo has been taken:

Photo is of which place?

Is the above sentence is correct?

 

[Rover_KE]

No.

'Where was the photo taken?'

May I also ask like below:

From which place this photo relates to?

 

[tedmc]

Wrong.
Did you write in your profile that your native language is English?

not a teacher

 

[suniljain]

The sentence starts with "from". Is this the reason that sentence is not correct or any other specific reason?

 

[Rover_KE]

That's one reason. Why do you want to complicate a perfectly good simple question?

Are you sure your native language is English?

 

[suniljain]

I am just trying to understand this bit better so that I would be clear why am I not correct. ( I understand my sentence is not correct)

I studied in English since childhood. Thanks for your patience and reply

Native speakers don't need to study their language to speak it fluently. Do you have a language that you speak better than English that you learnt as a baby from your family? If so, that's your native language. I know this can be a sensitive matter, but it helps us help you, if we know the situation. For example, we might understand why you don't start a sentence with "The photo ..." instead of just "Photo ..."

Is it correct to say 'What is the place shown in the photo'?
Not a teacher.

I have been learning English since my childhood too, but I am pretty sure that my native language is not English.

That's a real tangle. You do NOT sound like English is your first language!

- Don't say "From which" when you mean "Where." When you mean "where," say it.

- We don't take pictures from. We take them of.

- There is no reason to describe a photo as relating to a place. It's a picture of a place. It's not a picture of a relation to a place.

English is already a complicated language. Don't make it more complicated!

Can I edit my Profile now? Would like to change Native language from English to Hindi.
