which 當主詞
當主詞(後面直接接動詞):
- Which hero will save the day?(哪位英雄會拯救危機?)
- Which hero 是主詞(執行動作的人)。
- Which movie is playing tonight?(哪部電影今晚上映? → 電影是主詞)
which 當受詞
當受詞(助動詞後面接「人 + 一般動詞」):
- Which hero do you like best?(你最喜歡哪位英雄?)
- Which hero 是受詞(接收「喜歡」這個動作的對象)
- Which movie did you watch?(你看了哪部電影? → 電影是受詞)
which 當 形容詞
which作為形容詞,修飾後面的名詞。
有作為分類的意思,那一個/什麼樣的/ 那一個種類
只要把你想問的「種類(名詞)」放在 Which 後面,就可以無限延伸
which + [種類]

Which 介系詞結尾
Which + 名詞 ... [介系詞]
- Which meeting room are you in
- 原本是:You are in [which meeting room].(你在哪一間會議室裡面。)
- 把疑問詞 Which meeting room 移到句首變成問句時,介系詞 in 就會自然而然地留在句尾。
- What hotel are you staying at?(你住哪一家飯店?——at 也是留在句尾)
where 與 which 比較
Which meeting room(哪一間會議室)只是一個「名詞」,它本身沒有「in在裡面」的意思。
where 的組成其實就是 at/in/on + which place(在某個地方)。
- ❌ Where are you in?
- 在什麼地方的裡面,你在裡面?這在英文裡是錯的。
因此,當你想問「人在哪裡」時,直接用 where 當作介系詞的受詞即可:
- Where are you?(你在哪裡?——不加 in)
- Where are you staying?(你住在哪裡?——不需要在後面加 at)
-
Where are you going?(你要去哪裡?——不加 to,因為 where 已經包含方向了)
- ❌ Which meeting room are you?(哪一間會議室你是?)
- 人怎麼會變成一間會議室?
- 必須明確表達:你是在哪一間會議室「裡面」。
- 原本是:You are in [which meeting room].
- 把 which meeting room 提到句首變成疑問句時,後面的介系詞 in 就被留下來了:
- Which meeting room are you in?(你在哪一間會議室裡面?)
用 Which + 名詞(需要介系詞來交代位置或關係)
- Which meeting room are you in?(你在哪一間會議室?)
- Which team are you in?(你在哪一個團隊?)
- Which hotel are you staying at?(你住在哪一家飯店?)

- Which office are you in? (你在哪一間辦公室?)
- Which seat are you sitting in? (你坐在哪一個座位上?)
- Which building does he work in? (他在哪一棟大樓裡工作?)
組織、團隊與群體情境(Group / Organization)

- Which team are you on? (你在哪一個團隊裡?——註:團體通常用介系詞 on)
- Which department is she in? (她在哪一個部門?)
- Which class are you in this semester? (你這學期在哪一個班級?)
