    There or not ?
    Message from leah28 posted on 14-02-2010 at 01:48:46 (D | E | F)

    Hi!
    I have a question on this sentence. I want to understand why I do not have to write "THERE" at the end of my sentence?
    1. The sentence I live in a village. I play football there.
    2. my false answer I LIVE IN A VILLAGE WHERE I PLAY FOOTBALL THERE
    3. the good answer I LIVE IN A VILLAGE WHERE I PLAY FOOTBALL.
    Thank you very much and have a goode evening!
    Leah

    Hello,
    In this sentence (I LIVE IN A VILLAGE WHERE I PLAY FOOTBALL THERE)you don't have to use the pronoun "there" since you have the noun in the first part("village") and a relative pronoun to link it to the other part("where").

    To put it clearly, when you use a relative pronoun("where", "who", "that", "whose", etc.) a pronoun is of no use.
    (you don't say "The man who HE lives next door is my boss(imagine!).", do you?).

    Hope it's clearer!
    Bye!
