Professionele leerkrachtThis is the house that/where I lived in for many years as a child.
Hello!
In a test question the key says "that".
"This is the house that/where I lived in for many years as a child."
This must be a mistake, isn't it?
If it's not a mistake could you explain to me why I can't say 'where'.
Thank you!

You can say
This is the house that I lived in
This is the house where I lived
You would not say “this is the house where I lived in.”

If you are talking about location you can use where, but if you are referring to the house as a thing you would use which or that.
