2nd Term Test

Dear 4Ders,

Seeing 4 days become part of the history, it's time you asked yourself, "What have I done so far and what I should do in the following days ?" Never give REGRET any chance to "eat" you up when you still have time to fight back !

Stand by You,
Ms Joe Chan

  1. Ms Chan,
    When I was studying,I still have a question.
    One of the sentense...
    " I live in the town. The town is very old . "
    Why the answer should be ...
    " The town which I live in is very old . " ???
    Why cannot be ..
    " The town where I live in is very old ." ?????
    Is it the point of " in " ?
    Or the point of " is very old " ; so we use "which" ????
    I'm looking forward to seeing the answer.

  2. hi joe chan
    here's another questions ,can the ans of jenny's question be "The town in which i live is very old ."??
    moreover ,does the meaning of 'where' same to 'in/at which'??
    for example:
    the sentence is :
    The school was quite big. I spent my childhood in that school .
    Could the answer be :
    1)The school where i spent my childhood was quite big.
    and
    2)the school in which i spent my childhood was quite big.


    p.s. Happy Easter!!

  3. Hi Gals, terribly sorry to see your Qs sooo late as I forgot there's a filter system monitoring the comments. Hope my answer still helps.
    Jenny, I think you can refer to Yi Ching's examples as those are clearer. Yi Ching, you are right that both 1 & 2 mean the same but I think 1 is easier to handle as there is no preposition involved.

    Love,
    Ms Joe Chan
