When do you use to whom or in which?

In formal writing, a preposition can move to the front of a relative clause, right before whom for people or which for things, as in the friend to whom I wrote.

How do you reduce a relative clause?

Drop who, which or that along with a form of be, or change the verb to its ing form. The scientist who was working late becomes the scientist working late.
