Relative adverb or Interrogative adverb?
I know a place where we can eat out.
I know the reason why she did it.
I have learned that where and why are called relative adverb but I was wondering if we omit a place and the reason like
I know where we can eat out.
I know why she did it.
Should they be called relative adverb or they here are just interrogative adverb in indirect question?
I know + where can we eat out?
I know + why did she it.
And I am not sure what it is.
I know how we can solve the problem.
Here how functions as a relative adverb or an interrogative adverb?
I think that whichever it is called, it is okay and there is no meaning difference. What do you native English speakers think?
Thank you so much as usual in advance!
