1. You can have tea or coffee.

2. I will wait here till / until you come. (Till and until are interchangeable. Till is less formal than until.)

3. This is the house where he lives. (Where is actually a relative adverb. When we use it to connect clauses, it replaces words like here and there.)

4. If you quit smoking, your health will improve.

5. Unless you invite her she will not come.

6. He was hungry so he ate a banana.

7. The lights went out when I was reading.

8. I injured my knee while I was playing football.
