ADVERBIAL CLAUSES OF PLACE
The conjunctions that introduce adverbial clause of place are; WHERE,WHEREVER,EVERYWHERE, ANYWHERE.They can all express either POSITION or DIRECTION, so they answer the question WHERE or WHERE TO?
* Stay where [=in the place where ] you are!
Everywhere we travelled, we found wonderful hospitality.
Wherever it struck , smallpox caused widespread death and disfigurement.
*YOU CAN USE THE PREPOSITION FROM AND TO BEFORE WHERE AND WHEREVER;
You could see the flames from where we were standing.
I forward his mail to wherever he happens to be.
NOTE; In older literature you find two conjunctions of direction ,whither,meaning'to where', and whence,meaning 'from where';
*I must go whither [to the place to which ] I am sent.
*They returned whence [= to the place from which ] they had come.
*When the main clause uses a future form of the verb,the verb in the subordinate clause,if it has a future tense,is nevertheless in the present tense.
You 'll find a warm welcome everywhere you go in Japan.
*Similarly ,in reported speech or thought , when the verb is in the main clause is in the future in the past, the verb in the subordinate clause , it has a future sense, is nevertheless in the simple past.
*We both knew that we would be in danger whenever there was fighting.
*You can usually put adverbial clause of place before the main clause, especially if the sense of the place conjunction is' wherever';
Wherever we went we were well treated.
Everywhere we go we see the same ads.
Where there is life there is hope.
