Where does the comma go after or before which?
The short answer: you don't need one.
The long answer:
Which is a subordinating conjunction, meaning that when it starts a clause, it makes a dependent clause which is an incomplete sentence.
Grammar dictates the following comma placement in the pairing of clauses:
(Independent Clause = IC, Dependent Clause = DC) IC DC or DC, IC
Since which will start a dependent clause, provided that you put the independent clause first, you need not place a comma on behalf of the word which. If, however, the dependent clause goes first, you must place a comma after the entire clause, not just the word which.

How do you identify a prepositional phrase in a sentence?
A prepositional phrase is a group of words that starts with a preposition and ends with the object of the preposition (a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase).
Let's look at some steps to identifying prepositional phrases.
1. To identify a prepositional phrase, you first need to identify the preposition. Prepositions come before the noun or noun phrase to give us more information about the noun. Prepositions connect the noun to the rest of the sentence. A preposition can be a word or a phrase.
Here are a few common prepositions:
(For a good list of English prepositions with definitions, see the links below.)
- on
- by
- against
- under
- through
- above
- in
- between
- next to
- behind
- on top of
- during
- inside
2. Once you have found a preposition in a sentence, you need to keep reading to find the object of the preposition that ends the sentence. It will be a noun or pronoun that comes after the preposition. It may not be directly after the preposition as there may be other words in the phrase.
Let's practice identifying the prepositional phrase in this sentence:
She waited inside the house.
In this sentence, "inside" is the preposition.
We continue reading after the preposition to find the object of the preposition.
"The" is not a noun or pronoun, so it cannot be the object of the preposition.
The next word is "house." It is a noun and the object of the preposition "inside."
So, the prepositional phrase is "inside the house."
We could also have other adjectives in our prepositional phrase.
- inside the green house
- inside our house
- inside our big, green house
All of the above examples are prepositional phrases beginning with the preposition "inside" and ending with the object of the preposition "house."
See the links provided for more information about prepositions and prepositional phrases.
