【地点状语从句】地点状语从句一般由连接副词where, wherever等引导，已经形成了固定的句型。

【要点】由连词where和复合关系词wherever (=no matter where )引导

【句型1】Where＋地点从句，（there）＋主句。
【注意】此句型通常译成“哪里……哪里就……”；主句在从句后面时，there可用可不用；如果主句在从句的前面时，一般都不用there。例如：
Where there is no rain, farming is difficult or impossible.在没有雨水的地方，耕作是困难的，或根本不可能的。
They were good persons. Where they went, there they were warmly welcomed. 他们都是好人。因此他们走到哪里都受到热烈欢迎。
You should have put the book where you found it. 你本来应该把书放回原来的地方。
Where the Communist Party of China goes, there the people are liberated.哪里有了中国共产党，哪里人民得解放。

【句型2】anywhere/ wherever＋地点从句，＋主句。
【注意】anywhere本身是个副词，但是，常可以引导从句，相当于连词，意思相似于wherever, anywhere引导的从句可位于主句之前，也可以位于主句之后。 而wherever本身就是个连词，表示“在何处，无论何处”。例如：
Wherever the sea is , you will find seamen.有海就有海员。

【知识扩展】
①Where there is a will , there is a way.有志者事竟成。(谚语)
②It will be mixed school where not all the children are disabled.(在限定性定语从句中对限先行词起限定作用。)
③Wherever you go , I go too.无论你到什么地方，我都去。(wherever=no matter where)无论何处，多用于句首。
④Wherever there is smoke , there is fire.无风不起浪。(谚语)
⑤while she was wondering where to go , she met a policeman. (疑问副词where后跟不定式,构成不定式短语)
