Hi guys,
Would you please explain grammars and examples of "some of which", "some of them" and "some of whom"? I've seen these many times in SC section, but I don't know exactly how to use them.

Sure. "Some of which," "some of them," and "some of whom" are all relative clauses. Relative clauses are used to provide more information about a noun or pronoun. They are introduced by a relative pronoun, which can be "which," "whom," or "that."
Some of which is used to refer to a plural noun or pronoun. It is followed by a verb and a subject. For example, "Some of the cars, which were red, were new." In this sentence, "which were red" is a relative clause that provides more information about the plural noun "cars."
Some of them is used to refer to a plural noun or pronoun. It is followed by a verb or a verb phrase. For example, "Some of the cars were new, some of them were old." In this sentence, "some of them were old" is a relative clause that provides more information about the plural noun "cars."
Some of whom is used to refer to a singular or plural noun that is acting as the object of a verb or preposition. It is followed by a verb and a subject. For example, "Some of the people, whom I met, were new to the city." In this sentence, "whom I met" is a relative clause that provides more information about the singular noun "people."
Here are some more examples of how to use "some of which," "some of them," and "some of whom":
Some of the cars, some of which were red, were new.
Some of the people, some of whom were new to the city, were excited to explore.
Some of the things, some of which I didn't understand, were explained to me.
As you can see, "some of which," "some of them," and "some of whom" can be used in a variety of ways. They are a helpful way to provide more information about nouns or pronouns in your writing.
