Hi,
“This is the annex where / in which Anne Frank stayed during WWII.”
“This is the annex that / which Anne Frank stayed in during WWII.”
I know “that” cannot be used in place of “where” or “which” in the case of non-defining clause as in:
“Leslie is late again, which bother me.” “We like Four Seasons hotel, where we stayed last summer.”
Can “that” be used in place of “where”? in the case of defining clause? I was told by someone that it’s not possible. I also understand “which + preposition” is formal. Could an English expert please help clear my doubts.
Thank you, Lily
