JAC Board Class 9 English Grammar Clauses Exercises

Clauses, complex sentences की श्रेणी में आते हैं । अतः सबसे पहले यह जानना आवश्यक है कि एक Simple Sentence क्या होता है तथा एक Complex Sentence. की वाक्य रचना किस प्रकार की होती है, जैसे

• I gave him a book.
• She was playing football.
• They will help us.

उपरोक्त तीनों ही वाक्य Simple Sentences हैं क्योंकि तीनों ही वाक्यों में केवल एक ही finite verb-gave, playing व help दी हुई है ।

परिभाषा के अनुसार –

A simple sentence is a sentence which has only one finite verb, and may have a subject and a predicate. एक साधारण वांक्य वह वाक्य होता है जिसमें केवल एक ही नियंत्रित क्रिया (finite verb) होती है व एक ही कर्ता व विधेय (predicate) हो सकता है ।

ऊपर दिये गये तीनों वाक्य Clause कहलाते हैं क्योंक एक Simple Sentence में केवल एक ही Clause प्रयुक्त होता है ।
अब पुन: इन वाक्यों को देखिये-

• I told him then.
• He was reading in the room.

इन दोनों ही वाक्यों को जोड़कर एक वाक्य एक प्रकार से बनाया जा सकता है ।

I told him when he was reading in the room.
उक्त वाक्य एक Complex Sentence कहलाता है क्योंकि

A complex sentence is a sentence which consists of two or more clauses.

एक जटिल वाक्य या मिश्रित वाक्य (Complex Sentence) वह होता है जिसमें दो या दो से अधिक उपवाक्य (Clauses) हों और यहाँ पर वाक्य He was reading in the room को then के स्थान पर when लगाकर जोड़ा गया है । चुंकि then एक adverb है, अतः यहाँ पर जोड़ा गया when he was reading in the room एक adverbial clause है। इस प्रकार से एक Complex Sentence में दो या दो से अधिक Subject-Predicate Structures हो सकते हैं । दूसरे शब्दों में,

A complex sentence is one that contains one main clause (Principal Clause) and one or more subordinate clauses.

एक Complex Sentence वह होता है जिसमें एक प्रधान उपवाक्य (Principal clause) तथा एक या अधिक आश्रित उपवाक्य (Subordinate Clauses) होते हैं ।

उक्त वाक्य में ‘I told him’ Principal Clause है तथा when he was reading in the room एक Sub-ordinate Clause है क्योंकि यह Principal Clause के लिये Adverb का काम रहा है । यहाँ पर यह स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि Subordinate Clause को Principal Clause से जोड़ने के लिए एक Conjunction का प्रयोग किया जाता है । यहाँ पंर दोनों वाक्यों को जोड़ने के लिएकwhen का प्रयोग किया गया है जो कि एक conjunction है ।

नोट – एक Principal Clause को Subordinate Clause से जोड़ने के लिए जिन conjunctions का प्रयोग किया जाता है वे Subordinating Conjunctions कहलाते हैं । अब निम्नलिखित उदाहरण को ध्यानपूर्वक देखो-

• I know it.
• The thief has escaped.

हम इन दोनों ही वाक्यों को इस प्रकार से जोड़ सकते हैं कि दूसरा वाक्य पहले वाक्य के object के स्थान पर लग जाये व object का काम करे।

I know that the thief has escaped.
Clause “that the thief has ecaped”, Principal Clause “I know” के लिए direct object का काम कर रहा है और
इस प्रकार से यह एक Subordinate Clause है ।

एक Complex sentence में Clauses की संख्या का पता लगाना अत्यन्त ही आसान है। एक Complex sentence में जितनी finite verbs होती हैं उसमें उतने ही Clauses होते हैं।

अर्थात् – The number of finite verbs = the number of clauses
जैसे – I am writing a book.

उक्त वाक्य में केवल एक ही finite verb-writing दी हुई है, अतः इसमें केवल एक ही Clause है व यह एक साधारण वाक्य (Simple sentence) है । लेकिन

This is the boy who stole my pen.
इस वाक्य में दो finite verbs-is व stole दी हुई हैं । अतः इस वाक्य में दो

Clauses –

• This is the boy
• who stole my pen हैं ।

who stole my pen एक Subordinate clause है तथा who एक Subordinating conjunction है ।

इसी प्रकार से – If you do not strike while the iron is hot, you cannot mould it. उक्त वाक्य में तीन finite verbs-strike, is व mould हैं । अतः उक्त वाक्य में तीन Clauses हैं ।

(i) If you do not strike
(ii) while the iron is hot
(iii) you cannot mould it तथा if व while दो Subordinating conjunctions हैं ।
तथा if व while दो Subordinating conjunctions हैं ।

Principal Clause व Subordinate Clause को पहचानना

एक Complex Sentence में Principal Clause व Subordinate Clause को पहचानना अत्यन्त ही आसान है ।

Shortcut – Subordinate Clause के पूर्व किसी न किसी Subordinating Conjunction का प्रयोग अवश्य ही होता है जबकि एक Principal Clause के पूर्व किसी भी Conjunction का प्रयोग नहीं होता है । जैसे – She feels that we should buy a car.
उक्त वाक्य में that का प्रयोग we should buy a car के पूर्व हुआ है, अतः यह एक Subordinate Clause है तथा She feels के पूर्व किसी भी Conjunction का प्रयोग नहीं हुआ है, अतः यह एक Principal Clause है ।

Answers:

1. Noun Cluses

A noun clause is a subordinate clause that can be used in one of the positions that is usually occupied by a noun/pronoun/noun phrase in a sentence – subject, object or complement.

एक Noun clause वह आश्रित उपवाक्य होता है जो किसी संज्ञा/सर्वनाम/noun phrase द्वारा किसी वाक्य में किये जा रहे कार्य को करे ।

अर्थात् – Noun Clause वह Clause है जो Noun का काम करे ।
Noun Clause को निम्नलिखित पाँच रूपों में पहचान सकते हैं-

(1) Subject to a Verb ( क्रिया के subject के रूप में ) :

• What he said pleased me.
• Where she is going is not known.
• That he went there is uncertain.

उपर्युक्त वाक्यों में तिरछे छपे शब्द Subordinate Noun Clauses हैं । ये Sentences में subjects का कार्य करते हैं ।
नोट – ऐसा प्रयोग सदैव Principal Clause के पहले होता है और Principal Clause का कर्त्ता ‘it’ छिपा रहता

(2) Object to a Verb ( क्रिया के object के रूप में ) :

• He told me that he was going to Kolkata.
• I do not know where he lives.

उपर्युक्त वाक्यों में तिरछे छपे शब्द अपने-अपने Sentence में Object का कार्य कर रहे हैं । अतः ये Subordinate Noun Clauses हैं ।

नोट – ये प्रायः Principal Clause के बाद आते हैं ।

(3) Object to a Preposition (Preposition के कर्म के रूप में) :

• Listen to what your teacher says.
• It all depends on how she does.

उपर्युक्त वाक्यों में तिरछे अक्षरों में छपे Clauses, Subordinate Noun Clauses हैं । ये Prepositions to, on के बाद प्रयुक्त हुए हैं ।

(4) Complement to a Verb ( क्रिया के पूरक के रूप में) :

• This is what I want to say.
• Life is what we make.

उपर्युक्त वाक्यों में तिरछे अक्षरों में छपे Clauses अपूर्ण क्रिया के पूरक हैं । ये Subordinate Noun Clauses हैं और अपने पूर्व आने वाले Clauses के Verbs के Complements हैं।

(5) Case in Apposition to a Noun or Pronoun (संज्ञा/सर्वनाम के समानाधिकरण के रूप में ) :

• The news that he died is incorrect.
• It is good that he has come back.

जब एक Noun या Pronoun के बाद दूसरा Noun या Pronoun आये और वे दोनों समानार्थक हों अर्थात् एक ही व्यक्ति या वस्तु के लिए प्रयुक्त हों तो दूसरा Noun या Pronoun पहले वाले Noun या Pronoun का Case in Apposition कहलाता है ।

वाक्य 1 में news (Noun) के लिए $h e$ (Pronoun) died; वाक्य 2 में it (Pronoun) के लिए $h e$ (Pronoun) has come back; आये हैं । अतः ये सभी दूसरे शब्द पहले शब्दों के Case in Apposition हैं।

अध्ययन की सुविधा की दृष्टि से हम Noun Clause को दो भागों में बाँट सकते हैं-

• That-Noun Clause – वे clause जो केवल statement को जोड़ने के लिए प्रयुक्त होते हैं ।
• Question Clause – वे clause जो प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य को जोड़ने के लिए प्रयुक्त होते हैं ।

ये केवल statements को ही जोड़ते हैं तथा इनमें Subordinating conjunction के रूप में केवल that का ही प्रयोग किया जाता है । यह निम्नलिखित प्रकार से वाक्य में प्रयुक्त हो सकता है-

(A) Subject के रूप में : एक That-Noun clause एक वाक्य में subject का कार्य कर सकता है ।

• That he will tell a lie is known to all.
• That she has taken food is uncertain.

(B) Direct Object के रूप में एक That-Noun Clause एक सकर्मक क्रिया के direct-object का काम कर सकता है । जैसे –

उक्त उदाहरण कि that they have won the match एक that-noun clause है जो Principal clause “I know” के लिए Subordinate Clause का काम कर रहा है – कुछ क्रियाएँ ऐसी हैं जिनके साथ That-Noun Clause का प्रयोग oljeci के रूप में किया जा सकता है, जो निम्नलिखित हैं|

(C) Subject Complement के रूप में : Linking verb ‘be’ (is, am, are, was, were) के पश्चात् That-Noun Clause का प्रयोग कर्ता के पूरक के रूप में किया जा सकता है ।

अन्य उदाहरण –
(i) The fact is that I won’t attend the party.
(ii) The problem was that nobody was ready to believe me.
कुछ संज्ञाएँ ऐसी हैं जिनके साथ Subject complement के रूप में That – Noun Clause का प्रयोग किया जा सकता है । इस प्रकार की कुछ Nouns निम्नलिखित हैं –

(D) ‘It’ के साथ : That-Noun Clause का प्रयोग ‘it’ के साथ कर्त्ता के रूप में हो सकता है । जैसे –

• It is strange that there are no lights on.
• It is obvious that she will not help you.

यहाँ ‘it’ को Introductory Subject कहते हैं तथा That-Noun Clause को delayed subject कहते हैं । नोट – appear, happen, occur, seem तथा turn out के साथ भी subject के रूप में it का प्रयोग किया जाता है ।

• It appears that it was you.
• It seemed that some one was calling me.

(E) Adjective complement के रूप में : That-Noun Clause का प्रयोग कभी-कभी एक adjective के complement के रूप में भी हो सकता है। जैसे –

We were glad that everybody helped us.
नीचे कुछ adjectives व past participles (Verb की III form) दिये जा रहे हैं जिनके साथ that-noun clause का प्रयोग होता है-

(F) Noun complement के रूप में : कुछ abstract nouns (भाववाचक संज्ञाओं) के साथ that-noun clause का प्रयोग किया जाता है । जैसे-

• The fear that someone will beat him is baseless.
• The hope that we shall win is not fulfilled.

इस प्रकार की कुछ भाववाचक संज्ञाएँ (abstract nouns) निम्नलिखित हैं –

A Noun Claused Derived from Questions

प्रश्नवाचक वाक्यों से बनने वाले Noun Clauses को भी दो भागों में बाँटा जा सकता है –
(A) Wh-Clauses
(B) Yes / No Question Clauses

(A) Wh – Clauses

वे Noun Clauses जिनको wh – question word वाले प्रश्नवाचक वाक्यों से जोड़कर बनाया जाता है । जैसे Where are you going ?
यह एक Wh-question word से बनने वाला प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य है । यदि इसका प्रयोग एक subordinate clause के रूप

में किया जाए तो यह इस प्रकार से होगा –
I don’t know where you are going.

यहाँ प्रयुक्त होने वाला wh – question word subordinate तथा Principal Clause के भाव के अनुसार ही प्रयुक्त होता है। इसके लिए किसी नियम विशेष को प्रयुक्त नहीं किया जा सकता है। जैसे –

(i) I never believed (when / where / what) you told her.
Answer:
I never believed what you told her.
मुझे कभी विश्वास नहीं हुआ कि आपने उससे क्या कहा।

(ii) May I know …………….. (where / when / what) I can go home ?
Answer:
May I know when I can go home?
क्या मैं जान सकता हूँ कि मैं घर कब जा सकता हूँ ?

(iii) I don’t know (whom / who / which) she is.
Answer:
I don’t know who she is
उक्त उदाहरणों से स्पष्ट है कि Wh – Question words का अर्थ इस प्रकार से होता है what = कि ……….. क्या when =कि ………. कब who = कि ……….. कौन अर्थात् wh – Question Words का प्रयोग वाक्य के भाव के अनुसार होता है।

(B) Yes/No Question Clauses

(i) Are you coming with me ?
(ii) Can I leave office now?
(iii) Can you remember it?

उपरोक्त तीनों ही वाक्य Yes/No answer type प्रश्नवाचक वाक्य हैं। इनका प्रयोग भी Subordinate clauses के रूप में object की तरह से किया जा सकता है। इस प्रकार के वाक्यों के conjunction के रूप में “if” का प्रयोग किया जाता है। जैसे –

• He asked me if you are coming with me.
• Tell me if I can leave office now.
• I wonder if you can remember it.

2. Relative Clause 

Relative Clause वह clause है जो वाक्य में एक adjective का कार्य करे अर्थात् जो किसी Noun या Pronoun को qualify करे। यह अपनी पूर्ववर्ती-संज्ञा (Antecedent Noun) के बारे. में कुछ बताता है। जैसे –

• This is the camera which I have recently bought.
• You can buy the books that you need.
• The boy whom you helped is very poor.
• The man who stole your purse has been arrested.

उपर्युक्त उदाहरणों में
……………….. which I have recently bought. कैमरे के बारे में बताता है ।
……………….. that you need. पुस्तकों के बारे में बताता है ।
……………….. whom you helped ……………. लड़के के बारे में बताता है ।
तथा ……………..who stole your purse ………….. व्यक्ति के बारे में बताता है ।
Relative clause को जोड़ने में प्रयुक्त होने वाले शब्द Relative Pronouns कहलाते हैं ।

Relative Clauses दो प्रकार के होते हैं –

(1) Defining Clauses : ये किसी व्यक्ति/वस्तु/जानवर के विषय में ‘विशेषण’ के रूप में जानकारी प्रदान करते हैं । Defining Clauses के बिना किसी संज्ञा की पहचान अधूरी रहती है IDefining Clauses में commas (,) का प्रयोग नहीं किया जाता है । ये संज्ञा के विषय में Restrictive Meaning प्रदान करते हैं, जैसे –
My brother who lives in London visited us last week. (Defining Clause)
यहाँ Defining Clause ‘who lives in London’ का प्रयोग हुआ है ।
यहाँ My brother की विशेषता who lives in London से बताई गई है । उक्त वाक्य का आशय यह हुआ कि
‘मेरा (एकंमात्र) भाई जो लन्दन में रहता है पिछले सप्ताह हमारे यहाँ आया ।’ इस प्रकार Defining Clause ने ‘My brother’ के Meaning को Restrict (सीमित) कर दिया ।

(2) Non-defining Clauses : ये अपने पूर्ववर्ती संज्ञा के विषय में सीमित जानकारी प्रदान नहीं करते । ये संज्ञा के विषय में Continuative Meaning प्रदान करते हैं ।
Non-defining clauses में clauses को commas (,) द्वारा बंद किया जाता है, जैसे –
My brother, who lives in London, visited us last week. (Non-defining Clause)
Commas (,) के प्रयोग के कारण यहाँ ‘who lives in London’ Non-defining Clause है ।
इस वाक्य का अर्थ होगा ‘मेरा (एक) भाई जो लन्दन में रहता है वह पिछले सप्ताह हमारे यहाँ आया ।’ अतः Non-defining Clauses के कारण My brother का meaning Restrictive (सीमित) न होकर continuative हो गया । दोनों वाक्यों का

अन्तर निम्न प्रकार रहा –
(1) Defining Clause वाले वाक्य के अनुसार ‘मेरा केवल एक ही भाई है जो लन्दन में रहता है ।’ (Restrictive Meaning)
(2) Non-defining Clause के अनुसार ‘मेरा एक भाई लन्दन में रहता है तथा मेरे अन्य भाई भी हैं ।'(Continuative Meaning)

Relative Pronouns जो Defining Relative Clauses में प्रयुक्त होते हैं ।

	Subject	Object	Preposition	Possessive
For persons	who that	whom/who that	’that ……. ……… preposition	whose
For things	which that	which that	that …….. ………  preposition	whose/ of which

Relative Pronouns जो Non-defining Relative Clauses में प्रयुक्त होते हैं –

	for persons	for things
Subject	—, who — ,	—, which —,
Object	—whom/who —,	—, which —,
Preposition	—, preposition + whom —,	—, preposition + which —,
	— whom — preposition,	— , which — preposition,
Possessive	— whose —	—, of which/whose —,

3. Adverbial Clause of Condition
(शर्त वाले क्रिया-विशेषण उपवाक्य)

शर्तवाचक वाक्य (Conditional Sentence) दो उपवाक्यों (Clauses) से बना होता है-

जैसे – If you call him, he will come. यदि तुम उसे बुलाओगे तो वह आयेगा । उपर्युक्त वाक्य में ‘If you call him’ को If-Clause, Conditional Clause या Subordinate Clause कहते हैं । इसके द्वारा कोई शर्त व्यक्त की जाती है.।
दूसरा वाक्य ‘he will come’ Main Clause या Principal Clause कहलाता है । इसके द्वारा शर्त का परिणाम व्यक्त किया जाता है ।

नोट – यहाँ यह आवश्यक नहीं है कि वाक्य रचना हमेशा Conditional Clause + Principal Clause ही हो। यह Principal Clause + Conditional Clause की भी हो सकती है ।

अर्थात् – If you call him, he will come को He will come, if you call him. भी लिख सकते हैं । Conditional Sentences के द्वारा तीन प्रकार की शर्तें व्यक्त की जा सकती हैं –

• Open or Probable Conditions.
• Hypothetical, Unlikely, Improbable
  or
  Imaginary Conditions.
• Impossible or Unfulfilled Conditions.

(A) Open or Probable Conditions
खुली या सम्भाव्य शर्त या Type-I

इस प्रकार के वाक्यों में Conditional Clause द्वारा ऐसी शर्त रखी जाती है कि यदि उसे पूरा कर दिया जाये तो Main Clause में कही गई बात पूरी हो सकती है। अर्थात् इस प्रकार के वाक्यों से केवल सम्भावना प्रकट होती है । इसलिए इसे Open Condition भी कहते हैं । जैसे –

(i) If you work hard, you will pass.
यदि आप कठोर परिश्रम करेंगे तो आप पास होंगे ।
(अर्थात पहली शर्त मानने पर दूसरी बात पूरी हो सकती है ।)

(ii) If I go to Agra, I shall visit the Taj Mahal.
यदि मैं आगरा जाऊँगा तो ताजमहल घूमने जाऊँगा।

(iii) If you run fast, you will catch the train.
यदि आप तेज दौड़ेंगे तो आप गाड़ी पकड़ लेंगे ।

(iv) He will have a sunstroke, if he plays in the sun.
यदि वह धूप में खेलेगा तो उसे लू लग जाएगी ।

(v) We shall get wet, if it rains.
यदि बरसात होगी तो हम भीग जाएँगे ।

उक्त उदाहरणों से यह स्पष्ट है कि इस प्रकार की शर्त व्यक्त करने के लिए If-clause present में तथा
Main Clause → future में होता है ।

वाक्य रचना –  If + Present + Future

Main Clause में will के स्थान पर may/can/must आदि का प्रयोग भी हो सकता है । जैसे –
(a) If + present + may/might (possibility व्यक्त करता है |)
If you call him, he may/might come. (सम्भव है वह आये ।)

(b) If + present + may (permission के लिए ।)
If you complete your work, you may go home.

(c) If + present + can (permission तथा ability के लिए |)
If you bet, I can lift this.

(d) If + present + must / should इत्यादि (command, request or advice व्यक्त करने के लिए ।) If you want to lose weight, you must eat less bread.

(e) If + present + present (Natural law, Habitual Reactions, General truth तथा Scientific fact के लिए 1)

If you heat butter, it melts.
यदि आप मक्खन को गर्म करोगे तो यह पिघलेगा । (दूसरा कार्य स्वतः ही होता है ।)

(B) Hypothetical, Unlikely, Improbable or Imaginary Conditions

असम्भाव्य या काल्पनिक शर्त या Type – II
इस प्रकार के शर्त वाले वाक्यों में If – Clause में ही ऐसी शर्त रख दी जाती है जो वर्तमान में ही पूरी नहीं हो सकती । अत: Main Clause में व्यक्त किये गये परिणाम प्राप्त हो ही नहीं सकते । इस प्रकार के वाक्यों में If – Clause past tense में व main clause – would/should +V की I form में होता है अर्थात्

If + Past + ………….. would / should }+V की I Form

(i) If I knew his address, I would give you.
यदि मुझे उसका पता याद हो तो मैं तुम्हें दूँ।
(अर्थात् न तो वर्तमान में मुझे पता याद है और न ही मैं दूँगा ।)

(ii) If I had money, I would lend you.
यदि मेरे पास धन हो तो मैं तुम्हें उधार दूँ।

(iii) If a ghost appeared here, all would flee away.

ज्ञात तथ्यों के विपरीत परिकल्पना (contrary to known facts) प्रस्तुत करने के लिए –
If + ………….. were ………. +…………….. would/should.

का प्रयोग किया जाता है, जैसे –

(i) If I were a bird, I would fly in the sky.
यदि मैं एक पक्षी होऊँ, तो मैं आसमान में उड़ँ ।
(अर्थात् न तो मैं पक्षी हूँ और न ही आसमान में उडूँगा ।)

(ii) If I were a lion, I would roar.
यदि मैं एक शेर होऊँ तो मैं दहाड़ँ।

(iii) Were I you, I would buy this.
यदि मैं तुम जैसा होऊँ तो मैं यह खरीद लूँ।
(If के स्थान पर were का प्रयोग किया जा सकता है ।)

(c) Impossible ox Jornfillod Condition
असम्भव या अपूर्ण शर्त या Type – III

इस प्रकार के वाक्यों में If-clause द्वारा जो शर्त व्यक्त की जाती है वह भूतकाल की होती है जिसे वर्तमान में पूरा नहीं किया जा सकता है इसलिए Main Clause में व्यक्त परिणाम भी प्राप्त नहीं होगा । अतः इन्हें Impossible Condition कहते हैं । जैसे –

(i) If I had run fast, I would have caught the train.
यदि मैं तेज दौड़ा होता तो मैंने गाड़ी पकड़ ली होती ।
(अर्थात् न तो मैं तेज दौड़ा और न ही गाड़ी पकड़ी ।)

(ii) If Neeraj had worked hard, he would have succeeded.
यदि नीरज ने कठिन परिश्रम किया होता तो वह सफल हो गया होता ।

(iii) If the gardener had watered the plants, they would not have withered.
यदि माली ने पौधों को पानी दिया होता तो वे नहीं सूखते ।

Note – If के स्थान पर had का प्रयोग करके भी इस प्रकार के conditional sentence को बनाया जा सकता है’। Had पहले लगाने पर यह If का कार्य करेगा । जैसे Had he gone to Agra, he would have seen the Taj Mahal. यदि वह आगरा गया होता तो वह ताजमहल देख पाता ।

वाक्य रचना –
If + Past perfect + ………. would/should + have + V की III form……….
अर्थात् – If – clause Past perfect में होगा व Main Clause में would / should + have +V की III form आएगी

4. Adverbial Clause Of time

वे Subordinate Clause जो समय को व्यक्त करते हैं Time Clause कहलाते हैं ।

Position of Time Clauses :

• After the Main Clause – सामान्यतया Time Clause को Main Clause के ठीक बाद में रखा जाता है। जैसे – She phoned me when I was not at home.
• Before the Main Clause – Time Clause को Main Clause के पूर्व भी रखा जा सकता है । जैसे After I had taken food, I went home.
•  In the middle of the Main Clause – Time Clause को कभी-कभी Main Clause के बीच में भी रखा जा सकता है । जैसे –

Conjunctions जिनका प्रयोग time clauses के साथ होता है वे सामान्यतया निम्नलिखित हैंwhen, as soon as, as long as, until (till) before, after, by the time, while, as, since, no sooner …………… than, scarcely (hardly) ……………. when, आदि ।

विशेष – Time Clause कभी भी Future Tense में नहीं होता है । जब एक Future Tense के वाक्य को Time Clause के रूप में प्रयुक्त किया जाता है तो उसे Present में बदल दिया जाता है। जैसे –

(i) He will come. वह आयेगा ।
We will take food. हम खाना खायेंगे ।
When he comes, we will take food.
