"to which" in the middle of a sentence : what means does it mean? |
Welcome to the forum, Mj_Developer!
The word "which" represents a previously mentioned thing in a new sentence, to avoid repetition:
- "This is a pizza." +
"Pizza is my favorite food."
"This is a pizza, ←which is my favorite food."
- "You haven't called me." +
"I hate you now because you haven't called me."
"You haven't called me, ←which is why I hate you now."
- "There are beautiful green little birds, ←which sing well in the mornings."
If the sentence using "which" has an action involving "verb TO + the thing represented by which", you end up using "to which".
- "That's a beautiful song." +
"You should listen TO that beautiful song." +
"We should dance TO that beautiful song."
"That's a beautiful song TO ←which you should listen, TO ←which we should dance".
Cheers, to ←which I add more.. ...cheers!

Example: The <coverage> element shall be used to describe the time, culture, geography or region to which the SCORM Content Model Component applies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<coverage> and SCORM Content Model Component are noun!
Can you explain to me the above sentence what does it mean? |

Oh, usually the "which" refers to the closest/latest thing(s) mentioned before it.
So from...

| "The <coverage> element shall be used to describe the time, culture, geography or region to which the SCORM Content Model Component applies." |
... we can interpret that :
- You can describe a time, a culture, a geography OR a region using elements.
- The SCORM C.M.C. may apply to a time, a culture, a geography or a region
- You shall use the <coverage> element to describe, specifically, THE time, culture, geography or region to ←which the SCORM Content Model Component applies.
Whoa, and I was all talking about pizzas, phone calls and little birds... o_O
My cheers shall be used to finish posts, letters or conversations to ←which they (=cheers) pertinently apply. Cheers!
