Can you start with "Where" #1 (permalink) Wed Dec 17, 2008 20:12 pm   Can you start with "Where"
 

Is sentence 2 okay. 1. We met in Denver. 2. Where I learned how to cook pasta.

If I wrote sentence (1) and then followed it with sentence (2) is this use of "where" okay? Can "where" start a declarative sentence??

Thanks in Advance for your thoughtful input. I always enjoy my discussions here. Belles

Generally you can not start a declarative sentence with " where". Sentence two is not a complete or accurate sentence.

You cannot use sentence 2 alone, that is "Where I learned how to cook pasta", because it's a clause that cannot stand alone(It's an Adverb clause).
You can write >> We met in Denver, where I learned how to cook pasta.
