Thank you very much and the examples you've are great. Could I ask you another question"What's the distinguish between 'what time' and 'which time'"?

"at what time?" --> We would use this as a question. e.g. At what time did the intruder break into the house? (Sorry, I've been watching a lot of detective movies)
" at which time" --> We would use this as a connector to introduce something that happened AT that time. e.g. The break-in happened at 2 am, at which time the suspect was with his friends at a pub.
Here, there are 2 clauses :
1. "The break-in happened at 2 am" and
2. "the suspect was with his friends at a pub".
AT WHICH TIME is telling us that clause 2 is describing 2 am in clause 1.
Hope this helps.
