Using Where

Earlier in this course, you learned how to use where in questions:

--Where are you going?

Where can also be used in a dependent clause:

--I see the house where they live.

In the latter example, where is used to refer to a place, such as a city, state, country, room, etc.

NOTE: In dependent clauses, where can be replaced with in which, which ... in, that ... in, or nothing at all:

--The building where they work is new.
--The building in which they work is new.
--The building, which they work in, is new.
--The building that they work in is new.
--The building they work in is new.
