🔹 Rules Recap:
-
Who → refers to
people
-
Which → refers to
things or animals
-
Where → refers to
places (can be replaced by "in which", "at which", etc.)
Now, let’s go through each sentence one by one:
---
1.
I love the city ________ I live now.
→ The city is a
place, and we're talking about living in it.
✔ where
2.
The hotel ________ we usually stay is currently closed.
→ "Hotel" is a place; "stay" implies location.
✔ where *(Note: "which" could also work, but "where" is more natural here)*
3.
The girl ________ is singing right now is my sister.
→ "Girl" is a person.
✔ who
4.
The hat ________ I bought yesterday is red.
→ "Hat" is a thing.
✔ which
5.
New York is a city ________ is famous for its nightlife.
→ "City" is a place, but the relative clause describes the city itself. We can use
which or
that. Since "where" would mean "in which", it's not suitable here because we're not specifying a location within the city.
✔ which
6.

💡 Tips:
- Use
who for people.
- Use
which for things.
- Use
where for places (especially when referring to being *in*, *at*, or *on* a place).
- Sometimes
which can replace
where in formal writing (e.g., “the hotel
in which we stay”), but
where is more natural in everyday English.
