BDADC BCACA ? Thinking and discussing
1. In what situations can we change “preposition + which” into relative adverbs “when, where or why”?
2. When the antecedent in the main clause is a noun of time or place, or just the noun reason, how shall we decide the relative words?

Relative adverbs: when, where and why
1. We often use the relative adverb when to begin attributive clauses after nouns like time, moment, day, season and year.
● Do you remember the day when we left you in charge? ● I often think of the moment when I first saw her.
● I remember the time when Eric won that speech competition.
2. We often use the relative adverb where to begin attributive clauses after nouns like place, house, city, country and world.
● The police searched the house where the terrible accident happened. ● Mike wants to work in a country where there are a lot of forests. ● Is Shanghai the city where he was born?
●This is not a family where a bad behaviour can be tolerated.
3. We use the relative adverb why to begin attributive clauses after reason. ● I don't know the reason why the house is so dirty.
● I won't listen to the reason why you didn't do your homework.
4. In more formal English, where, when and why can sometimes be replaced by a preposition + which.
● The study is the place where / in which I often have talks with my father. ● This is the reason why / for which my parents got home earlier.
● It rained the whole day when / on which he travelled with his family.

Steve: I used to think that my grandparents were very boring too, but I don't now. In the past, I just watched TV the days (4) I visited them. Then I learnt that my grandpa was a good artist
