22 關系副詞where的用法　Track 022

（1）先行詞指地點
where引導定語從句時，其先行詞必須是表示地點的名詞，如place，house等。
a. — Since you work in the theater, can’t you get me a free ticket now and then?
—既然你在劇院工作，你能否時常給我拿一些免費的票？
— Certainly if you bring me a few notes now and then from the bank where you work!
— 沒問題，只要你能在你工作的那家銀行時常給我拿出一些“票子”。
b. Do you know any place where I can buy Clint’s grammar book?
c. Do you know any place at which I can buy Clint’s grammar book?
d. This is the town where（= in which） I spent my childhood.
e. This is the restaurant where I often have my breakfast.
（2）關系副詞where在從句中作地點狀語
注意：與when類似，并非所有先行詞表示地點的情況下，都得用where來引導定語從句。這得看關系詞在從句中所充當?shù)某煞?。where在定語從句中作地點狀語，但若定語從句缺主語或賓語，就要用which或that來引導。
例句
a. This is the town where I spent my childhood.
