Hi Sovan! Be careful! You CANNOT say "The city that I live." You must say "The city WHERE I live" OR "The city that I live IN." You need that preposition if you use 'that' or 'which'! 🧠💡
Do we need to use commas for these clauses?
Usually, no! These are "defining" relative clauses, meaning they are essential to the sentence. Only use commas if it's extra info about a specific, named place (e.g., "Paris, where I live, is beautiful.") ✍️
Teacher, can I just use "that" instead of "where"? Like "The city that I live"?
