Question about English (US)
Could you explain why this sentence has inversion? The sentence could be wrong by my mistake because I wrote down that sentence thru my poor listening skill.
<Because I thought my parents believed and they told me over and over again to the point were I believed that they didn’t exist.>
I don't get it , this part
to the point were I believed that they didn't exist.
Why is "the were verb" coming from?
Even if it is right, why it isn't "was verb"?

I believe ‘were’ should be ‘where’. You could also use ‘that’ instead.

Thank you so much for your help. It make sense now. 😊
My poor listening skill made me fall for "were" instead of "where, relative adverb".
