This should be the place that Tom sent the parcel to.这应是汤姆送包裹的地方.
⑵当whom、which省去时介词不能提前.例:
This is the room he lived in.这是他住过的房间.
⑶当whom,which作为含有介词的动词短语的宾语时,介词一般来说不能拆开提前.例:

This is the program which he listened to.这就是他听过的节目.

whose引导定语从句时,可出现创新句型:介词+whose引导定语从句.解这种定语从句时需弄清从句的动词与先行词、whose后边的名词及定语从句主语之间的关系,并发挥合理想象,不难发现其中正确的逻辑关系.例:
She is the girl to whose father I talked yesterday.她就是昨天我和其父亲谈话的女孩.
He is the boy for whose boss I work.他就是我为其老板打工的男孩.
(二)复杂介词+whom/which引导定语从句
I stay at the hotel at the back of which is a small garden.我住在后面有一座花园的旅馆.
(三)数词(不定量数词)/ 含所属关系名词+of whom/which引导定语从句.例:
