地点状语
从句是表示地点、 方位， 这类从句通常由where、
wherever等引导。地点状语从句可置于句首、句中或句尾。
用法
例如：
They will go where they are happy. 他们想到他们觉得快乐的地方去。
(1)地点状语从句由where，
wherever，引导，
如：We must camp where we can get water.
我们必须在能找到水的地方露营。
在于
分句在句中作什么成分。作状语，则是
状语从句；作定语修饰名词，则是定语从句
where引导定语
从句时，从句前应有一个表示地点的名词作
先行词；而状语从句前则无需先行词。
如：
Go back where you came from（where引导地点状语从句）
Go back to the village where you came.(where引导定语从句，修饰village)
回到你来的那个村子里去。
判断：
③地点状语从句与定语从句其本身属性就不同：地点状语从句相当于大的副词;定语从句相当于大的形容词,副词是用来修饰动词的,
例： you can go where you want to go . 你可以去你想去的地方。
（3）地点从句一般位于
主句之后，但为了强调，也可以放在句首。
With a car，a person can go where he pleases and when he pleases.
有了汽车，人可以想去哪儿就去哪儿，想什么时候去就什么时候去。
And where there is shale there is likely to be oil.
哪儿有页岩，哪儿就可能有石油。
