[Grammar] Adjective clauses

[deaq]

I'd like to rewrite the sentence below:




I would like to live in a place where there is plenty of sunshine.

• I would like to live in a place in which there is plenty of sunshine.
• I would like to live in a place which there is plenty of sunshine in.
• I would like to live in a place that there is plenty of sunshine in.
• I would like to live in a place (omitted) there is plenty of sunshine in.

Are these gramatically correct?

Thanks for your help.

I'd like to rewrite the sentence below:

• I would like to live in a place in which there is plenty of sunshine.:tick:
• I would like to live in a place which there is plenty of sunshine in.
• I would like to live in a place that there is plenty of sunshine in.
• I would like to live in a place (omitted) there is plenty of sunshine in.

Are these gramatically correct?

Thanks for your help.

The relative pronoun ‘where’ in the original sentence means: the place in which
So only the first one can be correct retaining the exact meaning of the original sentence, as it uses the preposition + relative pronoun pattern which applies to situations when the verb inside the relative clause is not performed by the noun / pronoun being qualified. Other relative pronouns or no relative pronouns can not work here.

Not a teacher.
The first sentence is the only correct answer, I think.

I am copying and pasting the following from Longman English Grammar by A.G. Alexander. So, if you think you disagree with it, argue your point with the author. ;-)

This is the place in which I grew up.
This is the place which I grew up in.
This is the place I grew up in.
This is (the place) where I grew up.
