Bonjour Aurélie
What will be the correct pronom relatif in this sentence?
Je dois retourner au bureau,........... j'ai oublié mes clés.

Bonjour de nouveau Hemlata,
If it were written "Je dois retourner au bureau où j'ai laissé mes clés" that would make sense.
Bonne journée
Jim
Bonjour Hemlata,
I would be inclined to use a conjunction in this context.
"Je dois retourner au bureau car (or parce que) J'ai oublie mes clés"
By using a conjunction (car or parce que) I am expressing justification/explanation as to why it is necessary for me to return to the office.
Hope this helps
Bonne continuation
Jim
Merci Jim, car makes absolute sense here. However, i was doing an exercise which gives me only où or dont as options, hence my query.
What do you think?
Merci Jim. Je suis d'accord avec vous. Votre réponse m'aide beaucoup :)
Hello Hemlata,
In my opinion, I think if you say:
...,dont j'ai oublié mes clés = ..., whose keys I lost --> I don't think it makes sense because "dont" is replacing "bureau"
But if you say:
..., où j'ai oublié mes clés (like Jim's answer) = ..., where I lost my keys --> I think this makes more sense
