标题: where, when, and in which 的用法请教 [打印本页] 作者: Apolloemma 时间: 2013-11-27 12:15 标题: where, when, and in which 的用法请教 The pronoun where can be used to modify a noun place, such as area, site, country or Nevada. Where can not modify a "metaphorical" place, such as condition, situation, case, circumstances, or arrangement . In these cases, use "In which" than where.
WRONG: We had an arrangement WHERE he cooked and I cleaned.
RIGHT: We had a arrangement IN WHICH he cooked and I cleaned.
The pronoun when can be used to modify a noun event or time, such as period, age, 1987, or decade. In these circumstances, you can also use "In Which" instread of When.

那么，下面这句话：
There are times where students should pay all their attention on studying.
