[Grammar] I would not live in a place where or which or that ?!

[nininaz]

Hello,
Which of the following sentences are correct?! And why?! Can we always use 'where' for the locations instead of 'that' and 'which' ?!

I would not live in a place where is far away from downtown.

I would not live in a place which is far away from downtown.

I would not live in a place that is far away from downtown.

Thanks

"Where" does not work. The other two are fine.

Thanks. Could you please tell me Why?! I get confused about it because 'in a place' indicates a location. when can we use 'where' ?!
Is it correct?!
I wouldn't live in a place where it is cold.

 

[MikeNewYork]

Your new example works.

 

[nininaz]

Your new example works.

I think for using relative adverbs, it needs to play the role of adverb for the verb within the clause?!otherwise we can't use the relative adverbs.
Could you please give me more examples of the sentences like my first examples which where or when or why is not the adverbial clause, and I can't use them as my first example.

How about the sentence?!
I wouldn't live in the places where they are far from downtown.

No, that doesn't work. Instead of "where they", use "that.

 

[nininaz]

No, that doesn't work. Instead of "where they", use "that.

I wouldn't live in the places which/ that they are far from downtown. Why I need to remove "subject : They" ?!

 

[Tarheel]

The word "they" in that sentence is not the subject. In fact, it doesn't seem to have any function at all.

Try:

I wouldn't live in places that are far from downtown.

How about " I don't enjoy parties where/which/that everyone is crowded into one small room"? All of them are correct?!

'I don't enjoy a party in a crowded small room.'

Not a teacher.

 

[nininaz]

'I don't enjoy a party in a crowded small room.'

Not a teacher.

I don't enjoy parties where everyone is crowded into one small room.
is correct because party is event not place?!

 

[Matthew Wai]

I think 'where' can refer to both events and places.
'I don't enjoy a party where everyone is getting drunk.'
'I don't enjoy a party at which everyone is getting drunk.'
'I don't enjoy a party that is held in a small room.'

Not a teacher.

 

[Tarheel]

How about:

I don't enjoy a party where nobody is drunk.

I prefer where. I wouldn't use the others.

 

[Matthew Wai]

everyone is crowded into one small room.

Is it correct to say so? May I say 'all people are crowded together in a small room'?

Not a teacher.

No. Think about it. What does "all people" mean? It means everybody. Can you you really get everybody into one small room? (You can't even get everybody into one really big building. Not even close.)

 

[Matthew Wai]

What does "all people" mean?

I mean all people at the party.

Not a teacher.

 

[MikeNewYork]

It would be better to say "all the people" when referring to a specific group.

Matthew, please note that that wasn't really a question in the normal sense of the word, since I asked the question and then I answered it.
