PLACE CLAUSES
PLACE CLAUSE EXPRESSİONS : where, wherever, anywhere, somewhere, everywhere Examples People want to live where their children will get a good education. Where I come from, it rains almost every day. Everywhere that Mary went, her pet lamb followed. Wherever I sit, the sun is in my eyes. I lost my purse somewhere I sat. You may sit anywhere you want. As seen above, a place clause can be used before or after the main clause. Place clauses begin with where, wherever, everywhere, anywhere or somewhere. We use where to express a definite place. A place clause beginning with everywhere or wherever doesn’t express a definite place. Wherever usually emphasises the place expression. Study the use of the place clause in bold in the passage.
