决定介词位置的4个因素:
1．如果是口语，介词位于句尾，同时关系代词可以省略。
2．非正式问题，介词位于从句句尾。
3．有些动词+ 介词，合成词组被看成是不可分割的语言单位，这个时候介词必须紧跟动词，不可移动
take after account for
4．在很多情况下，介词和关系代词构成独立的介词短语，在句中起状语作用，与从句的谓语动词毫无关系，而不是谓
语动词的一部分，这时介词始终位于关系代词之前
Eg: He described it as a very agreeable situation located within two small hills
In the midst of two small hills, flowed a great river.
Eg: He described it as a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river.(in the
midst of跟后面的谓语动词flow没有任何关系)
Mrs. Ramsay received an anonymous letter in which the writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands.
Key sentence:
A week before, he had completed a successful overland flight during which he covered twenty-six miles.
介词和关系代词搭配连用，当定语从句的关系代词是介词的宾语时，能够把可移位的介词提前放在关系代词的前面。
