Adverbial Types
Certain clauses of adverbial character are also sometimes classed as relative clauses:
- those qualifying a noun, normally replaceable by a similar standard relative clause: the place (where) I live (i.e. "at/in which I live"); the reason (why) we did it (i.e. "for which we did it").
- those functioning analogously to free relative clauses, but in an adverbial role: I won't hide where you hide; I'll do it how(ever) you do it.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
