Sentences:
Would you please put the book where it belongs?
Q:
I tried to disassemble the sentence to understand what "where" looks like. (see as bellow)
(1) Would you please put the book at the place.
(2) The book belongs at the place.
so the word of "where" = "at the place" = "at which".
Am I right?
ref. Grammar book.
(a) Where = in/at/on which
(b) And follow the example:
(1) This is the place.
(2) I was born in the place.
(1) + (2) = This is the place where I was born.
so where = in which
Matthew1 Matthew1 Would you please put the book where it belongs? ~ ... the book in/at the place in/at which it belongs?
