Join the sentences with a relative clause.
That's the house. I was born in it.
I got answers such as:
1. That's the house where I was born in.
2. That's the house which I was born in.
I like 2., but I don't like 1.
Trouble is, I have to explain why, not just say, 1. should be 'That's the house where I was born.', especially as I cannot say 2. is wrong, although it may be phrased 'That's the house in which I was born.'
So, what do I tell 'em? 1. is wrong because ........?
