💡 Notes
🔻The relative adverb when can be replaced by ‘in/on which’. Where can be replaced by ‘in/at which’. Why can be replaced by ‘for which’.
👲🏻I don’t know the day when he came. (= I don’t know the day on which he came.)
🏡 I know the house where he lives. (= I know the house in which he lives.)
💻 Do you know a shop where I can buy used laptops? (= Do you know a shop at which I can buy used laptops?)
😭 Do you know the reason why she cried? (= Do you know the reason for which she cried.)
🔻 Here are some more sentences that need a preposition:
"This is the table from which I took the book; This is the table which I took the book from." You can see that "This is the table which I took the book" doesn't work.
"This is the man to whom I owe the money; This is the man whom I owe the money to"
