RELATIVE PRONOUNS: THAT AND WHERE
I know that "which, who, whom" can be replaced by "that" in defining relative clauses. But can "that" replace "where" in defining relative clauses?
Top answer
Yes: it can. I know a place where/that we can relax. In that example, the relative word or "that" can be omitted altogether: I know a place we can relax .
- Yes: it can.

- Note that strictly speaking "that" is not a relative pronoun but a subordinator.
