✺ How many types of the clause ?
✤ There are two types of the
clause.
(a) Principal Clause/Main Clause/Independent Clause
(b) Subordinate Clause/Dependent Clause
❖ (a.) Principal Clause (प्रधान उपवाक्य):→ The clause which expresses full meaning without relying on any other clause is called
principal clause.
✤ A clause does not dependent any other clause and
give a complete meaning is called principal clause.
✤ वह Clause जो किसी अन्य Clause पर निर्भर हुए बिना पूर्ण अर्थ व्यक्त/प्रकट करता हैं, वह Principal Clause कहलाता हैं।
Example:→ “I saw a man who was blind” (मैंने एक आदमी को देखा जो अंधा था) में ‘I saw a man’ (मैंने एक आदमी को देखा) एक Principal Clause हैं।
❖ (b.) Subordinate Clause (गौण उपवाक्य):→ The clause which depends on the
principal clause or other clause for the completion of its meaning is called
subordinate clause.
✤
That clause dependent on principal clause or any other for complete
own meaning is called subordinate clause
✤ वह Clause जो अपने अर्थ के पूर्णता के लिए Principal Clause या अन्य Clause पर आश्रित रहता हैं, Subordinate Clause कहलाता हैं।
Example:→ I saw a man who was blind (मैंने एक आदमी को देखा जो अंधा था) में who was blind (जो अंधा था) एक Subordinate Clause हैं।
❍ Note:→ चूँकि Principal Clause पूर्ण अर्थ व्यक्त करता है इसलिए इसका प्रयोग स्वतंत्र वाक्य के रूप में भी हो सकता है। जैसे— “I saw a man” एक स्वतंत्र वाक्य भी है।
❍ Note:→ निम्नलिखित Conjunctions से शुरू होनेवाले Clause Subordinate Clause होते हैं।—
as how till, untill
as
if if unless
as
through
lest
who
as much
as provided that which
after since whom
according
as so whether
as soon
