Location Clauses
A defining relative clause with WHERE tells us exactly WHICH PLACE we are talking about.
Connecting Ideas 🔗
Instead of saying two short sentences, we use "where" to make one advanced sentence.
The Formula 📝
Dropping 'in/at' ✂️
"Where" already means "in/at which". So, do NOT use a preposition at the end!
Is an action happening there?

Hi Sovan! No, you cannot say "The house that I live". If you use "that" or "which", you MUST keep the preposition! You have to say "The house that I live IN" or "The house WHERE I live". 🏠
Can we drop "where" like we drop "who" or "which" sometimes?
Technically, you shouldn't drop "where". However, in informal speech, people sometimes drop it IF they add a preposition back in. "The place I went to" is okay, but "The place I went" is grammatically incomplete. It's safer to always keep "where"! 🔗
Why is it wrong to say "The place where I went to"?
Because "Where" already includes the meaning of "to/at/in/on". If you say "where I went to", you are basically saying "to which I went to"—it's repeating the preposition! Just say "The place where I went". ✂️
Can I use "that" instead of "where"? Like "The house that I live".
