Step 2 Analyze the following sentences one by one and find out the focus of each sentence:
1.12 October 1492 was the day when Columbus landed in America.
The relative clause introduced by when
2. A kitchenette is a small room where people cook their meals.
The relative clause introduced by where
3.I like the way she spoke.
The relative clause preceded by the way (in which)
4.Is that the reason why we have tests and quizzes all the time?
The relative clause introduced by why
Step 3 Explanations of grammar points
1. 关系副词or 关系代词
先行词是表示时间或地点的名词时，并不都是用关系副词引导，而是要看关系词在从句中所作的成份。

作状语时，用关系副词；作宾语时，仍然要用关系代词。

a. She is going to spend the summer holidays in Qingdao, where she has some relatives.
b. This is the place which I visited last year.
c. Did you still remember the days when we spent together in Hainan?
d. October 1st is the day which we Chinese people will never forget.
2. 关系副词可代替的先行词是时间、地点或理由的名词，在从句中作状语。

A. when, where, why
关系副词when, where, why的含义相当于“介词+ which”结构，因此常常和“介词+ which”结构交替使用，E.g. ：
a. There are occasions when (on which) one must yield.
b. Beijing is the place where (in which) I was born.
c. Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer?
B. that代替关系副词。
