Grammar Confusion!!

Hi dear friends,

It �s about combing two sentences with the correct relative pronoun. Other mistakes by my 8th graders.

Which one is correct???

First Example: a. He worked in a dirty place.

b. Modern improvements didn �t alter it.

Choice 1: He worked in a dirty place where improvement didn �t alter.

Choice 2: He worked in a dirty place where modern improvements didn �t alter.

Another choice maybe???

Second Example: a- Bob �s work was considered tough.

b- He had experienced hard conditions while still young??

Choice 1: Bob whose work was considered tough had experienced hard conditions while still young.

Any other choice?? I feel the first one is not correct??/

Thanks a lot.

Hi Nebal,

1- Modern improvements didn �t alter the dirty place where he worked

or

1-He worked in a dirty place which modern improvements didn �t alter

For the second one,it´s correct but you have to add commas.

Hope it helps.
