Hello, friends!
Can you help me, please?
I know that these sentences are OK: "This is the hotel in which we stayed / This is the hotel that we stayed in / This is the hotel which we stayed in / This is the hotel we stayed in / This is the hotel where we stayed".
My question is: Is it possible to say: "This is the hotel where we stayed in"? I think it may be quite repetitive to use IN and WHERE in the same question but: is it grammatically correct?
Thanks in advance! |

I was dying to say �No way, Jose! � here but I �ll just content myself with saying that you should use one or the other - not both.
Oddly enough, you could conceivably use this form in sentences like "This is the pool where we jumped in..." |

No, it is not grammatically correct.You can use either the where/when structure or th other structures you mention.
Also it is preferable to omit which/that when it can be omitted.So you had better use:
This is the hotel we stayed in instead of:This is the hotel that we stayed in /
This is the hotel which we stayed in
