| Oct 29, 2020 at 17:05 | comment | added | BillJ | "When" is the correct choiceIf you use "that", a preposition is required, either stranded at the end of the clause ("the street that I bumped into my old friend from the high school in") or fronted with "which" ("the street in which I bumped into my old friend..."). Btw, you've approved a wrong answer. | |

| Oct 29, 2020 at 16:54 | comment | added | BillJ | The "bumped" expression is an adjunct. Unlike content and relative clauses, adjuncts are not (normally) introduced by "that", but they are commonly introduced by "when". Thus "when I bumped into my old friend from the high school" is a temporal adjunct. | |
