A DOUBT ON RELATIVE CLAUSES
|
Hello everybody!
I have a doubt about relative sentences with "where". I thought that you shouldn �t say things like:
"A house or apartment is where you live in" or "Liverpool is the place where my parents lived in"
I used to be sure that the use of "in" in those sentences was redundant and incorrect, (and I thought that it was incorrect in my language, Spanish, too) But now I �m not sure anymore.
Could anyone out there please, please, help me?
Thanks in advance.
(I wish you all a nice week)

Hi dear mertxegr....
As far as I �m concerned ,
"Liverpool is the place where my parents
lived "
and
"Liverpool is the place in which my parents
lived "
are correct because we cant use prepositions when we prefer �where �
:)
