Usage notes
There is often some confusion between the usage of duquel and the usage of dont. Both can be translated as of which, of whom, from which, from whom. As a rule of thumb, if a prepositional phrase ends with de (e.g. à côté de, près de, en faveur de) then duquel should be used. If not, use dont.
