A relative adverb "that"
Hi.
Today I got to know about relative adverbs such as where, when, how and so on.
And I also found the word "that" can play roles as not only a relative pronoun but also a relative verb.
*This is the way how/that we used to do in the past.
However, some sentences are unacceptable even if they are grammatically right.
*This house is the place where/that he has been lived.
Please tell me the rule of it. Thank you.
Have a good day:)

"That" is nor a relative word of any kind. It is a clause subordinator. "Where" can be a relative word functioning as an adjunct of place: I know a place where we can relax.
