When Jane does this exercise, she is puzzled. Which one should she choose, which or where?
exercise: The restaurant ______ I used to go is my favourite.
Can you help her? What is the difference in using these two? Can we ‘google’ it and figure out (find out) the answer?
*************You need to explain why you choose this answer!!!!!*********************

I think it is where.
Comment by Amy April 9, 2008 @ 5:25 pmThe use of where is about the place and which is to describe somethings.
I think we can use ‘google’ it to find the answer.
i think it is which,because i see a word ‘used’,it is different with the exercise that i have done be4,and i think it will not be so easy, as Mrs Bouteiller post it here! haha=]

Because ‘I’like the restaurant such as food
Not that place.So it should use ‘which’.
Here is my opinion~
I think the answer is ‘where’.
Comment by Angel April 9, 2008 @ 9:04 pm“The restaurant where I used to go is my favourite.”
“Restaurant”is a place that the sentence is mentioned.
“Which” is talking about “thing”, and “where” is talking about “place”.
The restaurant where I used to go is my favourite.

Comment by KEN April 10, 2008 @ 10:00 pmit into two sentences, it would be “I used
to go to the restaurant” and “The
restaurant is my favorite.” I think it
just sounds like”The place ____ I used to
go is my favorite” and you won’t say
“The object ___I used to go is my favorite”
Is that right?? So my final answer is
WHERE!!!
um….the answer is….which!!!!!
