Describe a place with whereصف مكانًا بجملة تبدأ بـ where

The idea, simply

Use where after the name of a place to say what happens there: This is the café where we first met. A full clause with a subject and a verb follows where. Do not add there at the end: say the town where I grew up, not the town where I grew up there.

Examples

• This is the café where we first met.

• I visited the school where my father studied.

• Is there a shop where I can print this?
