James is someone funny to talk about music

Hi teachers


I have a couple of questions today.

First, I wonder which sentence is between the two.


1. James is someone funny to talk about music.

2. James is some funny to talk about music with.


Also, I wonder why relarive adverb 'where' is used instead of relative pronoun 'which' in the sentence below.


3. Tell me about the village where you came from.


As always,

many thanks to the native speakers of English who are always helpful and kind to English learners.

'where' is also a relative pronoun, and it can be used after a noun that refers to a place, e.g., place where, point where, area where, spot where, country where, region where, house where, bank where, park where, road where, ...
