Complex Sentences – पिछले Chapter में हमने Sentences मात्र निरन्तरता के आधार पर Combine करना सीखा था। जब दो या दो से अधिक Simple Sentences इस प्रकार जोड़े जायें कि वे अपने अर्थ को पूरा करने के लिए परस्पर निर्भर हों, उनमें कोई विशेष सम्बन्ध हो तो ऐसे Simple Sentences जुड़कर एक Complex Sentence का निर्माण करते हैं। इनमें

(1) एक Principal या Main Clause होता है।
(2) शेष Subordinate Clauses कहलाते हैं।
(a) Noun clauses,
(b) Adjective या Relative clauses,
(c) Adverb clauses कहलाते हैं।
Note – Clause = जुड़ा हुवा Simple sentence !

Subordinating Conjunctions
(योजक शब्द)

(a) Simple Subordinators
Asm – after, although, as, because, before, if, since, that, though, till, until, unless, when, where, while, etc.
(b) Compound Subordinators so that, such that, as far as, as long as, as soon as, etc.
(c) Correlative Subordinators.
(इनका एक भाग एक जगह व दूसरा भाग दूसरी जगह जुड़ता है) –
If….then, although/though….yet, so…..as, so…..that, such…..that, such….as, same…..as, no sooner….than.

एक Complex sentence में कितने ही Simple sentences जुड़कर clauses कहलाते हैं
As –
(a) This man is a thief.
यह आदमी चोर है।

(b) This man entered the compartment.
इस आदमी ने कम्पार्टमेंट में प्रवेश किया।

(c) My brother caught him red-handed.
मेरे भाई ने इसे रंगे हाथों पकड़ा।

(d) My brother is an inspector.
मेरा भाई एक इंस्पेक्टर है।

Complex Sentence The man who entered the compartment is a thief whom my brother, who is an inspector, caught him red-handed.
यह आदमी जिसने कम्पार्टमेंट में प्रवेश किया एक चोर है, जिसे मेरे भाई ने जो एक इंस्पेक्टर है, रंगे हाथों पकड़ा।
Synthesis (संश्लेषण) – Simple sentences को जोड़कर Complex sentence बनाने को Synthesis कहते हैं। (उदाहरण – उपर्युक्त)
Analysis (विश्लेषण) – किसी Complex sentence को clauses में विभक्त करना Analysis Thesis

As –
उपर्युक्त Complex sentence को निम्न तरह से Analyse करेंगे :
(a) Principal clause – The man is a thief.
(b) Subordinate clause – _Who entered the compartment.
Relation – Relative (or Adjective) clause qualifying the noun ‘the man’ in (a).
(C) Subordinate clause – Whom my brother caught red-handed.
Relation – Relative clause qualifying the noun the thief in (a).
(d) Subordinate clause who is an inspector.
Relation—Relative clause qualifying the noun ‘my brother’ in (c).

Important Rules

Simple sentences को combine करते समय कुछ महत्त्वपूर्ण Rules का पालन करना होता है
Rule 1.
Principal clause किसीबी प्रकार का your fat (Assertive, Interrogative, Imperative, Optative या Exclamatory) हो सकते है-
As –
(a) Assertive — know that he is a fool.
(b) Interrogative –
(i) Do you know that he is a fool?
(ii) How do you know that he is a fool?
(c) Imperative – Give me the same book as I gave you.
(d) Optative – May his brother who has lost the control of theplane land safely.
(e) Exclamatory – How great a fool he is who thinks that he candecide the fate of others.

Rule 2.
किन्तु Subordinate clause केवल assertive ही होगा। यदि वह अन्य Toht for a H assertive that JIST GIMI
As –
(a) Assertive – I know that he is a fool.
(b) Interrogative
(i) He asks if father has taken tea. (Has father taken tea?)
(ii) He asks why father has not taken food.
(Why has father not taken food?)

(d) Optative – He wished that I may win the election. (May you win the election).
(e) Exclamatory – He exclaimed that the scene was lovely. (How lovely the scene is?)

Rule 3.
Sentences जोड़ने पर Rule of Sequence of Tense का पालन करना होता है।

Rule Of Sequence Of Tense

English language में उपर्युक्त नियम तथा Sequence of Tenses का Rule अति – महत्त्वपूर्ण है। चूंकि ये दोनों नियम हिन्दी व्याकरण में नहीं हैं, अतः हम English में Kinds of Sentences का परिवर्तन तथा Tenses का सही उपयोग नहीं कर पाते या हमें उसे समझने में कठिनाई होती है।

Examples,
He informs me that his friend is leaving.
वह मुझे सूचित करता है कि उसका मित्र जा रहा है।

He informed me that his friend was leaving.
उसने मुझे सूचित किया कि उसका मित्र जा रहा है। (न कि जा रहा था)

The Principle
The Sequence of Tenses is the principle according to which the tense of the verb in a Subordinate clause follows the tense of the verb in the Principal Clause.

काल अनुक्रम वह सिद्धान्त है जिसके अनुसार किसी Complex sentences के Subordinate clause/clauses ont Verb/Verbs at Tense, Principal Clause it Verb की Tense का अनुगमन करती है।

Rule 1.
A Present or Future Tense in the Principal Clause may be followed by any tense required by the sense of the Subordinate clause.
यदि Principal Clause की Verb Present Tense या Future Tense में हो तो Subordinate Clause की Verb उसके अर्थ के अनुसार किसी भी Tense की हो सकती है, उसमें किसी परिवर्तन की आवश्यकता नहीं होती।

Examples

  • Principal Clause – Subordinate Clause
  • You know – that he is doing right.
  • You know – that he was doing right.
  • He says – that he will go there.
  • You will find – that she works well.
  • I shall tell you – what I can do.

Rule 2.
किन्तु यदि Principal clause की Verb Past Tense की हो तो उसके अनुसार Subordinate clause की Verb को निम्नानुसार परिवर्तित करना होगा
(a) यदि Subordinate clause की Verb Present Tense में है तो उसे Past Tense में परिवर्तित कर प्रयोग करना होगा।
(b) यदि Subordinate clause की Verb Past Tense में हो, तो निम्नानुसार परिवर्तित होगा :

  • Original (मूल) – Change (परिवर्तन)
  • Past Indefinite – Past Perfect
  • Past Continuous – Past Perfect Continuous
  • शेष में – कोई परिवर्तन नहीं।

(c) Subordinate clause a Verb Future Tense Ft Future Tense के Modal, Auxiliary, shall/will को should/would…… में परिवर्तित कर प्रयोग लायेंगे।
(d) अन्य Modal Auxiliaries का Past Tense प्रयोग में लायेंगे।

Examples-
MP Board Class 11th General English Grammar Complex Sentences 1

Note : उपर्युक्त उदाहरण, उदाहरणार्थ ही हैं।

Special Rule

उपर्युक्त Rule 2 के अपवादस्वरूप तीन मुख्य नियम हैं।

Rule 3.
(Exception to Rule 2) नियम 2 का अपवाद –
A Past Tense in the Principal clause may be followed by a Present Tense in the Subordinate clause when the Subordinate clause expresses some universal truth.

यदि किसी Subordinate clause में कोई सर्वाभौम सत्य प्रकट किया गया हो तो उसके Present Tense को यथावत रखा जा सकता है भले ही Principal clause की Verb Past Tense की हो।

Examples :
1. The teacher taught us that the earth is round.
शिक्षक ने हमें सिखाया कि पृथ्वी गोल है।

2. The king said that all men are mortal.
राजा ने कहा कि सभी मनुष्य नश्वर हैं।

3. He learnt from his experience that pride has a fall.
उसने अपने अनुभव से सीखा कि गर्व का पतन होता है।

4. Galileo proved that the earth moves round the Sun.
गैलिलिओ ने सिद्ध किया कि पृथ्वी सूर्य का चक्कर लगाती है।

5. The teacher taught us that the three angles of a triangle are equal to two right angles.
शिक्षक ने हमें सिखाया कि किसी त्रिकोण के तीनों कोणों का योग दो समकोण के बराबर होता है।

Rule 4.
When the Subordinate clause is introduced by the conjunction of comparison ‘than’, then Rule 2 does not apply at all.
जब कोई Subordinate clause conjunction ‘than’ से प्रारम्भ होता है तब कोई – सा भी Tense किसी भी Tense के बाद आ सकता है।

Examples :
Principal clause – Subordinate clause.

1. She likes you better than she likes me.
वह जितनी अच्छी तरह से मुझे चलती है उससे ज्यादा अच्छी तरह तुम्हें चाहती है।

2. She liked you better than she likes me.
3. She will like you better than she has liked me.
4. She has liked you better than she liked me etc.

Note : Comparison यदि as well as से प्रकट हो, तो यही नियम लागू होता है।
As –
1. She likes he as well as she liked him.
वह मुझे उसी प्रकार चाहती है जैसे व उसे चाहती थी।

2. She likes me as well as she likes him.
वह मुझे व उसे समान रूप से चाहती है।

Rule 5.
(A) जब Adverb Clause of Purpose, Principal clause से जोड़ा जाय तथा Principal clause की verb Present अथवा Future में हो, तो Subordinate clause verb may’ (Present Tense) में प्रकट की जानी चाहिए।
e.g. –
1. He works hard so that he may pass.
वह श्रम करता है ताकि वह सफल हो सके।

2. He will work hard so that he may pass.
वह श्रम करेगा ताकि वह सफल हो सके।

(B) किन्तु यदि Principal Clause की Verb Past Tense में हो, तो Subordinate clause ‘might’ (Past Tense) का प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
e.g. –
1. He worked hard that he might pass.
उसने श्रम किया ताकि वह सफल हो सके।

2. He was working hard that he might pass.
वह श्रम कर रहा था ताकि वह सफल हो सके।

(C) यदि Subordinate clause का प्रारम्भ Conjunction – lest (अन्यथा) से प्रारम्भ हो तो Subordinate clause में modal – should का प्रयोग किया जाता है भले ही Principal clause किसी भी Tense का हो।
e.g. –
1. She works hard lest she should fail. (= She may not fail.)
वह श्रम करती है ताकि वह असफल न हो।

2. She worked hard lest she should fail. (= She might not fail.)
3. She will work hard lest she should fail. (= She may not fail.)

Subordinate Clauses

जैसा कि हम पूर्व में जान चुके हैं, Complex Sentence Simple Sentences का एक ऐसा Group है जो दूसरे से घनिष्ठ रूप से सम्बन्धित होते हैं। जुड़ जाने के बाद ये Clauses कहलाते हैं तथा मुख्य Simple Sentence जिसमें अन्य Simple Sentences जुड़ते हैं Principal Clause कहलाता है। जुड़ने वाले Simple Sentences को Subordinate clauses कहा जाता है। सभी Subordinate clauses प्रत्यक्षतः या अप्रत्यक्षत: Principal Clause से जुड़े होते हैं किन्तु Principal Clause किसी से जुड़ा नहीं होता है, वह स्वतन्त्र होता है। Subordinate Clause के प्रारम्भ में सामान्यतः एक Conjunction होता है किन्तु Principal Clause के पूर्व नहीं।

प्रत्येक Subordinate clause किसी Principal clause या अन्य Subordinate clause से जुड़कर
1. Noun का
2. Adjective का या
3. Adverb का कार्य (Function) करता है।
A. Noun Clauses,
B. Adjective या Relative clauses,

C. Adverb clauses हम प्रारम्भिक तौर पर ऐसे Complex Sentences का अध्ययन करेंगे जिनमें दो clauses हों। किसी Complex Sentence में ये तीनों प्रकार के clauses कितनी भी संख्या में हो सकते हैं। यहाँ हम clauses का सरल से कठिन के क्रम में अध्ययन करेंगे।

Adverb Clauses

कोई Adverb सामान्यतः (Functions) करती है
1. किसी Verb को modify करना (अर्थात् उसके हाने का समय, स्थान, तरीका इत्यादि बताना)
As –
(1) He came early.
(2) Pratap fought bravely.

2. किसी Adjective को modify करना (अर्थात् उसके अंशो को बताना या तुलना करना।)
As—
Pratap is very brave.

3. किसी Adverb को modify करना (अर्थात् उसके अंशो को बताना या तुलना करना)
As –
He walked very slowly.
जब कोई Simple sentence अन्य Simple sentence में जुड़कर उपर्युक्त में से कोई कार्य करे तो उसे Adverb clause कहेंगे।

1. Adverb Clauses Of Reason

निम्न simple sentences को देखिये As – Hari did not go to school.
हरी विद्यालय नहीं गया।

He was ill.
वह बीमार था।

इन्हें because से जोड़कर यह complex sentence बनाया।
Hari did not go to school because he was ill.
हरी विद्यालय नहीं गया क्योंकि वह बीमार था।
क्यों नहीं गया? क्योंकि वह बीमार था।

अत: complex sentence :
Hari did not go to school because he was ill.
चूँकि Because he was ill वाला भाग (clause) प्रथम भाग की did not go verb के होने का कारण बतलाता है यह Adverb clause of Reason कारण सूचक उपवाक्य तथा प्रथम भाग Hari did not go to school – principal clause कहलाता है।

Other Examples
Note – 1. कुछ में पहले Principal clause व Adverb clause बाद में व कुछ में Adverb clause पहले व Principal clause बाद में आता है। इन्हें नोट करें। Conjunction से जुड़ा clause Adverb clause होता है।

2. Principal clauses की जिस verb को यह modify (कारण बताने का काम) करता है उसे हमने bold में रखा है।

Conjunctions – Because, as since, for = क्योंकि।
As –
1. He failed in the examination.
He fell ill at that time.
He failed in the examination because he fell ill at that time.
वह परीक्षा में असफल हुआ क्योंकि वह उस समय बीमार पड़ गया था।

2. Some persons pulled the chain several times.

As some persons pulled the chain several times the train became late.

3. Suresh was under age.
Suresh could not be selected for the match.
Since Suresh was under – age, he could not be selected for the match.
चूँकि सुरेश की उम्र कम थी, अत: मैच के लिए वह चुना नहीं जा सका।

4. We had taken brightest torches for it was the darkest night.
हमने अपने साथ अत्यन्त प्रकाशवान टार्चे ले ली थी क्योंकि वह अत्यन्त अँधेरी रात थी।

5. Mother could not break the stick.
The stick was very hard.

माँ लकड़ी को तोड़ नहीं सकी क्योंकि वह बहुत कठोर थी।

6. He locked Delilah up in the coal celler.

He locked Delilah up in the coal celler for it had a cement floor and two feet granite walls.

When called? When I was taking food.
कब बुलाया? जब मैं भोजन कर रहा था।

अत : clause – When I was taking food दूसरे clause की verb ‘called’ के होने का समय (Time) बतलाता है अतः यह Adverb clause of Time कहलाया।
जब कोई Simple sentence किसी अन्य Simple sentence में जुड़कर उसकी Verb के होने का समय बताए तो उसे Adverb Clause of Time कहते हैं।

Conjunctions – When, as = जब, Whenever = जब कभी, While = जबकि, Since = से, Before = पहले, After = बाद में, As soon as = जैसे ही, No sooner…than = जैसे ही, As long as = जब तक, Till = तक etc.

वह वहाँ चला गया है जहाँ से कोई नहीं लौटता।
where (कहाँ) चला गया है ? From where no one returns. जहाँ से कोई नहीं लौटता।
अर्थात् where no one returms – clause verb ‘has gone’ की place बतलाता है। अतः यह Averb clause of place कहलाता है। जब एक Simple Sentence दूसरे Simple Sentence में इस तरह जुड़े कि जडकर वह उस Verb के होने का स्थान बतलाए तो उसे Adverb Clause of Place कहते हैं।

Conjunctions – Where = जहाँ, Wherever = जहाँ कहीं, Whence = जहाँ से, Whither = किस स्थान को।

उसने कठिन मेहनत की ताकि वह सफलता प्राप्त कर सके।
With what purpose? – worked hard किस उद्देश्य से?

So that he may get success.
चूँकि यह clause मुख्य clause की Verb के होने या करने का उद्देश्य (purpose) बतलाता है, अतः यह Adverb Clause of Purpose – modifying the verb ‘worked’ कहलाता है। जब एक Simple Sentence दूसरे Simple Sentence में इस तरह जोड़ा जाए कि जुड़कर वह दूसरे Simple Sentence की Verb के होने का उद्देश्य बताए तो उसे Adverb Clause of Purpose कहते हैं।

Conjunctions – So that = ताकि, that = ताकि, in order that = ताकि, lest = अन्यथा, ऐसा न हो कि

उपर्युक्त वाक्य में will get (सफलता) मिलेगी, इस शर्त पर कि तुम कठिन मेहनत करोगे।
अत: If you work hard शर्त (condition) सूचक उपवाक्य कहलायेगा व Main clause की verb ‘will get’ को modify करेगा।
जब एक Simple Sentence दूसरे Simple Sentence में इस तरह जुड़े कि जुड़कर वह उस Sentence की Verb की शर्त हो तो वह Adverb Clause of Condition कहलाता है।

Conjunction – If = यदि, Unless = If not यदि नहीं, In case = उस परिस्थिति में, Provided (that) = बशर्ते।

Adjective Or Relative Clauses

अभी तक हमने उन clauses का अध्ययन किया है जो Main clause की verb या Adjective या Adverb या पूर्ण sentence से सम्बन्धित होकर उनको modify (विशेषता) करते थे। अब हम उन clauses का अध्ययन करेंगे जो कि किसी Noun से सम्बन्धित होकर उनको qualify करेंगे। चूँकि यह कार्य Adjective का है,

अतः हम उन्हें Adjective clause या Relative clause कहेंगे।
1. The boy has run away.
The boy was wearing red shirt.
इन्हें जोड़कर इस तरह complex sentence बनाया।
The boy who was wearing red shirt has run away.
लड़का जो लाल शर्ट पहने था भाग गया है।
प्रश्न है कौन – सा लड़का? उत्तर है लाल शर्ट पहने।

अत: इसमें who was wearing red shirt इत्यादि clause – Main clause – The boy has run away के Noun ‘the boy’ की विशेषता (quality) बतलाता है, अतः यह Adjective clause कहलायेगा।

Other Examples

Who, which, whom, when, where Relative Pronouns a Relative Adverbs Conjunctions के रूप में कार्य करते हैं।
As –
1. I have lost the book.
You gave me the book.
I have lost the book which you gave me.
मैंने वह पुस्तक जो तुमने मुझे दी थी खो दी है।

2. The girl is my cousin.

Relative Clauses अपने main clause में adjective के समान कार्य करते हैं। अर्थात् main clause के किसी noun phrase से जुड़कर noun की विशेषता बताने का कार्य करते हैं। इनके function के आधार पर इन्हें दो categories में बाँटा जाता है :

1. Restrictive या Defining Relative Clauses,
2. Non – restrictive या Non – defining Relative Clauses.

जैसा कि नाम से ही स्पष्ट है, Restrictive या Defining Relative Clause जिस noun से जुड़ता है उसकी विशेषता बताकर उसके identification में मदद करता है :
The old man who lives near my house has gone to Jabalpur.
(वह बूढ़ा आदमी जो मेरे घर से पास रहता है, दूसरा नहीं)

इसके विपरीत Non – restrictive या Non – defining Relative Clause जिस noun से जुड़ता है वह पहले से ही पूर्ण रूप से identified होता है और यह clause उसके बारे में additional information देता है :

My father, who is an engineer, lives in Indore.
(यह clause मेरे पिता के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी दे रहा है)

Now look at these two sentences :
(a) My sister who is a doctor lives in Gwalior.
(b) My sister, who is a doctor, lives in Gwalior.

वाक्य (a) स्पष्ट करता है कि मेरी एक से ज्यादा बहन हैं और मैं उस बहन की बात कर रहा हूँ जो डॉक्टर है; जबकि वाक्य (b) स्पष्ट करता है कि मेरी एक की बहन है और वह डॉक्टर है।

Note : दोनों प्रकार के Relative Clauses का formation एक ही प्रकार से होता है किन्तु Non – defining Relative clause अपनी noun से comma (अल्पविराम) द्वारा separate किया जाता है।

Exercise : 11
Combine the sentences with the conjunctions given
1. This is the method.

3. The Satpuras look beautiful.

4. The man has just left.

5. Blessed is the man.
His cares are few. (Whose)

Look at these examples :
1. (i) My sister lives in Gwalior.
(ii) My sister is a doctor.
(iii) My sister is a doctor
⇒ who is a doctor.
(i) My sister lives in Gwalior.”
(ii) who is a doctor.
(iii) My sister who is a doctor lives in Gwalior.

2. (i) I have met your brother.
(ii) Your brother lives in Raipur.
(iii) Your brother lives in Raipur.
⇒ who lives in Raipur.
(i) I have met your brother.
(ii) Who lives in Raipur
(iii) I have met your brother who lives in Raipur.

Note :

  1. Relative clause transformation के लिये यह जरूरी है कि दोनोंवाक्यों में कोई noun phrase similar reference वाले हों।
  2. यदि ऐसा होता है तो जिस clause को relative clause के रूप में insert करना हो उसके noun phrase के स्थान पर appropriate relative pronoun substitute किया जाता है।
  3. Relative Pronoun यदि clause के शुरू में नहीं हो तो उसे clause के शुरू में लाया जाता है। ऊपर के दोनों examples में वह क्योंकि subject के समान function कर रहा है, अत: clause के शुरू में आया है और उसे move करने की आवश्यकता नहीं पड़ी।

Appropriate Relative Pronouns :
MP Board Class 11th General English Grammar Complex Sentences 2

Note :
1. That का उपयोग non – defining relative clauses में नहीं किया जाता है।
2. Whom का उपयोग defining relative clauses में सामान्यतः नहीं किया जाता।

Object के समान भी who या that का उपयोग किया जाता है। That ज्यादा Common है। Defining and Non – defining Relative Clauses (Or Restrictive and Non – restrictive)

जब कोई Relative Clause किसी अपरिचित (Common Noun सामान्यतः ) के परिचय के रूप में आता है तथा आवश्यक होता है तो उसे Defining या Restrictive Relative Clause कहते हैं।

As –
I saw the man who was stealing.
मैंने उस आदमी को देखा (कौन – सा?) जो चोरी कर रहा था।
(यहाँ हम उस आदमी से अपरिचित थे)

किन्तु यदि कोई Noun (सामान्यत: Proper Noun) जो परिचत है उसके बाद कोई Relative Clause जोड़ते हैं तो वह एक अतिरिक्त सूचना के रूप में आता है, अत: वह Non – defining या Non – restrictive Relative Clause कहलाता है। उसे हम () Comma के द्वारा अलग लिखते हैं।

As –
I saw Mohan, who was stealing the purse.
मैंने मोहन को देखा, जो पर्स चोरी कर रहा था।

Other Examples –
1. Lal Bahadur Shastri, who was our Prime Minister, was a very bold , man.

Note : In a defining relative clause, the relative pronoun can be omitted if it is functioning as an object in the relative clause. Such sentences
are preferred in modern English.

His father says ………. .
Guests have arrived.

Says के आगे रिक्त स्थान कहता है कि यहाँ say क्रिया का object जो कि एक Noun होना चाहिए रखा जाय वहाँ हम दूसरा simple sentence जोड़ेंगे तो निम्न complex sentence बनेगा।

Noun Clause As

That he will get a berth is almost certain.

जब वह वाक्य जिसको noun clause में परिवर्तित कर उपयोग करना है statement (कथनात्मक वाक्य) होता है तो उसमें subordinator that जोड़ा जाता है और इसी कारण
उसे that – clause कहा जथा है

2. This is doubtful.
Will he be able to come?
Will he be able to come? → whether he will be able to come →
Whether he will be able to come is doubtful.

जब वह वाक्य जिसको noun clause में परिवर्तित कर उपयोग करना है Yes/No Type question हो तो subordinator whether जोड़ा जाता है और क्योंकि noun clause का structure, जैसा हम पहले कह चुके हैं, assertive sentence का होना चाहिए, इसलिए Yes/No Type question का subject और finite verb का inversion समाप्त करना होता है।

3. (a) This is a mystery. ⇒
How did the thieves get in?
How did the thieves get in? how the thieves got in →
How the thieves got in is a mystery.

(b) This is a mystery. ⇒
Who came to see him last night?
Who came to see him last night? → who came to see him
last night →

Who came to see him last night is a mystery.

जब वह वाक्य जिसके noun clause में परिवर्तित कर उपयोग करना है Questionword question हो तो किसी subordinator की आवश्यकता नहीं होती question – word ही subordinator का काम करता है। यदि Question – word question में subject और finite verb का inversion हो – जैसा ऊपर (a) में तो उसे समाप्त किया जाता है। यदि Question – word question Subject Question हो जैसा ऊपर (b) में तो उसमें subject और finite verb का inversion होता ही नहीं है, अत: समाप्त करने का प्रश्न ही नहीं उठता।

किसी Sentence में प्रयुक्त Preposition (सम्बन्धसूचक अव्यय) in, on, to, for, from…. etc. के बाद एक Noun अवश्य आता है जो उसका Object कहलाता है। यदि हम इस Noun के स्थान पर एक Simple Sentence जोड़ दें तो वह Noun Clause object of a Preposition कहलाएगा।
