[1200–50; Middle English < Old French place < Latin platea,platēa street, courtyard, area < Greek plateîa broad street] place′a•ble, adj. place1. used in descriptionsYou can use place after an adjective when you are describing a building, room, town, or area of land. For example, instead of saying 'Paris is nice', you can say 'Paris is a nice place'. I love this village it's a beautiful place.Their new house is a really comfortable place.2. saying where something isYou can say where something is using the place whereÉ. For example, you can say 'This is the place where I parked my car'. He reached the place where I was standing.This is the place where we leave our school bags.Be Careful! Don't use a to-infinitive after a place where. Don't say, for example, 'I'm looking for a place where to park my car'. Say 'I'm looking for a place to park my car' or 'I'm looking for a place where I can park my car'. You can also say 'I'm looking for somewhere to park my car'. He was looking for a place to hide.Is there a place where you can go swimming?We had to find somewhere to live.3. 'anywhere'In British English, you don't usually use 'place' after 'any' in questions or negative statements. Don't say, for example, 'She never goes to any place alone'. You say 'She never goes anywhere alone'. I decided not to go anywhere in the summer holidays.Is there a spare seat anywhere?In American English, anyplace is sometimes used instead of anywhere. He doesn't stay anyplace for very long.4. 'there'Don't use 'that place' to refer to somewhere that has just been mentioned. Don't say, for example, 'I threw my bag on the ground and left it in that place'. You say 'I threw my bag on the ground and left it there'. I moved to London and soon found a job there.I must go home. Bill is there on his own.5. 'room'Don't use 'place' as an uncountable noun to refer to an open or empty area. Use room or space instead. Room is more likely to be used when you are talking about space inside an enclosed area. There's not enough room in the car for all of us.We need plenty of space for the children to play.

PLACE, pleading, evidence. A particular portion of space; locality. 2. In local actions, the plaintiff must lay his venue in the county in which the action arose. It is a general rule, that the place of every traversable fact, stated in the pleading, must be distinctly alleged; Com. Dig. Pleader, c. 20; Cro. Eliz. 78, 98; Lawes' Pl. 57; Bac. Ab. Venue, B; Co. Litt. 303 a; and some place must be alleged for every such fact; this is done by designating the city, town, village, parish or district, together with the county in which the fact is alleged to have occurred; and the place thus designated, is called the venue. (q.v.) 3. In transitory actions, the place laid in the declaration, need not be the place where the cause of action arose, unless when required by statute. In local actions, the plaintiff will be confined in his proof to the county laid in the declaration. 4. In criminal cases the facts must be laid and proved to have been committed within the jurisdiction of the court, or the defendant must be acquitted. 2 Hawk. c. 25, s. 84; Arch. Cr. Pl. 40, 95.
