Question

Identify the clause of the highlighted part in the given sentence.
He may relax when he finishes his work.

A.

Adverb Clause

B.

Adjective Clause

C.

Noun Clause

D.

Principal Clause

Correct option is A


The correct answer is (a) Adverb Clause.
Detailed Explanation (English):
• The highlighted part “when he finishes his work” begins with the subordinating conjunction when.
• It tells time (i.e., the time at which he may relax).
• A clause that modifies the verb by answering questions like when, where, why, how, to what extent is called an Adverb Clause.
• Here it modifies the verb phrase “may relax” by answering when he may relax.
Grammatical Rule Used (English):
• Adverb Clause modifies the verb of the main clause and answers: when/where/why/how.
• “when” introduces an adverb clause of time.
Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):
• जो उपवाक्य (subordinate clause) मुख्य क्रिया (main verb) के बारे में समय/स्थान/कारण/रीति बताता है, वह Adverb Clause कहलाता है।
• “when” समय बताता है, इसलिए “when he finishes his work” समयवाचक क्रिया-विशेषण उपवाक्य (Adverb Clause of Time) है।
Example:
• I will call you when I reach home.
