City

Hello,

1.I live in a city. I study in the city.

I have to join these two sentences using a relative pronoun.

(1a). I live in a city in which I study.

(2a). I live in the city in which I study.

I would like to know whether I keep 'a city' (that is part of the original sentence) or replace 'a' with 'the'.

Thanks.

If you have a particular city in mind, go with THE. I would join these two sentences in the simplest way possible (two verb joined by AND): I live and study in the city. I hope this helps.

Hello,

I have to use relative pronoun to join these sentences.

The sentences are given above and it is not my choice to think the city is a specific or non specific.

This an exercise from a text book.

Thanks.

Then you want #2 because it is a particular city, the city in which you study.
