senro_eash (Guest) (1 posts) Jun-08-03, 07:26 PM (GMT) "relative pronouns where/which" My students often have problems with sentences such as teh following: The docks, which used to be so busy, are now deserted and empty. A typical exercise has the relative pronoun gapped and asks them to fill the gap with the correct relative pronoun. Many students correctly surmise that 'the docks' refers to a place and put 'where'. I know this is wrong and that it doesn't fit the grammar that follows but I don't know why nor how to explain it to them. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot. senro_eash   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: relative pronouns where/which" Hi, Well, I'm no expert but from my grammar book (and it's a good idea to have one to refer to for yourself) "where" is a "relative adverb". The only relative pronouns are who, which, that. Hope this helps! Cheers.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
