  The word ubi, which we have used so much in the sense of where in
  asking a question, has two other uses equally important: 

  1. ubi = when, as a relative conjunction denoting time; as,
    Ubi mo:nstrum audi:ve:runt, fu:ge:runt\, _when they heard the
    monster, they fled_

  2. ubi = where, as a relative conjunction denoting place; as,
    Video:  oppidum ubi Galba habitat\, _I see the town where Galba
    lives_

ubi\ is called a _relative conjunction_ because it is equivalent to a relative pronoun. _When_ in the first sentence is equivalent to _at the time at which;_ and in the second, _where_ is equivalent to _the place in which._
