Question

Identify the highlighted clause used in the given sentence.
We asked him many questions when we met him.

A.

Noun Clause

B.

Adjective Clause

C.

Adverb Clause

D.

Principal Clause

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) Adverb Clause.
• The highlighted part is “when we met him”.
• It begins with when, which is used as a subordinating conjunction introducing a time clause.
• This clause tells when we asked him many questions (time of the action).
• A clause that modifies the verb of the main clause by telling time/place/reason/manner is called an Adverb Clause.
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 मुख्य वाक्य की क्रिया के बारे में समय/स्थान/कारण/रीति बताता है, वह Adverb Clause कहलाता है।
• “when” समय बताता है, इसलिए “when we met him” समयवाचक क्रिया-विशेषण उपवाक्य है।
