I don't understand how to use where or that when explaining more about the places.
- any places where we can walk to
- any places that Pudding can run around
Does the meaning change if I use it differently? Like any places that we can walk to or any places where Pudding can run around? Does the speaker just use it by their preference?

Accepted Answer

The use of that and where is pretty much interchangeable. As per your example changing the positions of that and where in this case, would not affect the meaning of the sentence. It is just at the speaker's discretion.

Ex: A place that I can play.
Ex: A place where I can play.
