The difference between the predicative clause that and where

Do you have any suggestions for places to go? I can tell you about that place I've been to before. that i've visited is a postposition for the place, limiting the place I go.

visit is a transitive verb, what is missing here is the object of visited, and the use of that (that can be omitted when used as an object) where is an adverb, not an object.

visit is a transitive verb, which must be followed by an object, and the clause is one object short, where I can only do an adverbial here, and that can just be an object

Visit transitive, and there is no shortage of adverbials in clauses.

There are three elements to be considered in the topic of the definite clause: antecedents, relative words, and the components of relative words in the definite clause.

The problem-solving skills for relational words in definite clauses are: relational pronouns (that; which;who) as the subject or object in the clause, the relative adverb (when; where;why) in the clause either adverbial.

The definite clause of this sentence is i've visited...Visit is a transitive verb, and it needs to have an object, so we can tell that it is a relative pronoun that needs to be filled. where is a relative adverb and cannot be chosen; That is a relative pronoun that can be filled in, and the object of visit is made in the clause.

To illustrate this more clearly, compare the following two sentences:

can tell you about the place that i've visited.(that is the object of visit in the clause).

can tell you about the place where i saw tom yesterday.(where is an adverbial in the clause because the clause verb saw already has the object tom).

As follows:

There is no thing in the definite clause.

That cannot be used for a comma.

Which can be used after a comma.

Where can be used in many places, and if the sentence is complete, use one of when and where.

If it doesn't refer to time, use where.

Relationship Composition. The syntactic function of a relational clause is mainly to act as a definite. In English, a relative clause is usually placed after the word (group) it modifies. The words (groups) modified by relative clauses are called antecedents

antecedent), the word that guides the relative clause is called the relative word, and the relative word refers to the antecedent and acts as a certain component in the relative clause.

The definite clause is not guided by what. That and which are relational pronouns, where are relational adverbs, and place adverbials are missing in general definite sentences.

time. that

It can refer to people and things, while which can only refer to sth, and which can only be used in non-restrictive definite clauses

You can't use that

In the following cases, only that can be used, not which

1. When the antecedent is an indefinite pronoun such as all, everything, anything, nothing, much, none, etc.

2. When the antecedent is descripted or modified by the highest level of an adjective 3, if there are two or more antecedents and refer to both people and things.

where is a relative adverb that acts as an adverbial in a clause that refers to a place; That is a relative pronoun that acts as a subject or object in a clause referring to a thing or person and can be omitted while acting as an object.

Hello, there are exciting games where people can win prizes, which you cannot missWhere is (relative adverb) and which is (relative pronoun), where cannot be converted to that, but where can be converted to which, but it must be used in the usage of [(preposition) + which].

When a relative adverb is used as a leading word, it usually acts as an adverbial in the clause, indicating that the main components of the clause are present. This sentence there are exciting games where people can win prizesIt means people can win prizes in these exciting games

In the games here can be seen as (prepositional phrase) acting as (place adverbial), i.e. (people can get prizes in this exciting game. ）。

In the definite clause guided by where, the subject is people, the predicate is can win, and the object is prizes, indicating that the trunk structure is (subject-verb-object) and the lack is (adverbial), so the where (relational adverb) is used instead of the antecedent exciting games in the clause is (place adverbial).

If you want to change where to which, you need to use in which (in because in these exciting games uses the preposition in), so the sentence is:

there are exciting games in which people can win prizes.So that there is no problem.

When used (preposition), it can only be used with which, not with that, and it cannot be changed to in that, or that.
