An adverbial clause is a dependent clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. An adverbial clause functions as an adverb; the entire clause modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
Example: Call me when you're ready.
A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence. A relative clause gives information about its antecedent (most often the subject of the sentence).
Example: The teacher who assigned the work should answer your question.
The relative pronoun 'who' introduces the relative clause 'who assigned the work' which relates information about its antecedent 'teacher'.
Relative pronouns (who, whom, whose, which, that) introduce relative clauses that provide essential information about a noun in a sentence. Relative adverbs (where, when, why) connect relative clauses to a noun and provide information about time, place, or reason.
As a pronoun, the word 'where' is an relative pronoun, a pronoun that introduces a relative clause. Example: It was right where I told you it was. Where is also used as an adverb, a conjunction, and occasionally a noun.
"When" can function as a subordinating conjunction, adverb, or a relative pronoun in a sentence, depending on its use.
"Often" is not a relative pronoun. It is an adverb that describes the frequency of an action or event.
"Where" is not a pronoun, but a relative adverb or adverbial conjunction used to ask about or specify a place or location.
No, "when" is not a relative pronoun. It is an adverb or a subordinating conjunction used to indicate time or cause. A relative pronoun introduces a subordinate clause that describes a noun, such as "who," "which," or "that."

(the adverb 'recently' modifies the verb 'moved')
When the word "that" is not used in a question, it is typically a demonstrative pronoun, used to point to someone or something specific. It can also function as a relative pronoun, introducing a dependent clause in a sentence.
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions about nouns (e.g. who, whom, whose). Interrogative adjectives modify nouns in questions (e.g. which, what). Interrogative adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs in questions (e.g. how, where, when).
That can be a pronoun (often a relative pronoun), an adverb, or an adjective, depending on the use. Some dictionaries also list it as a conjunction, but I disagree.
Vice versa: a relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose) introduces a relative clause.A relative clause can also be introduced by a relative adverb (where, when, why), or a zero relative sometimes called contact clauses (the relative clause directly follows the noun to which it relates with no introductory word).Examplesrelative pronoun: The man who called left a message for you.relative adverb: The place where I bought the carhad many to choose from.zero relative: The movie we saw was 'A Wonderful Life'.
