If you study hard, you will get success. (Underline the subordinate clause and name it.)
Answer (1)
In the sentences provided, we are looking for subordinate clauses and identifying their types.
A subordinate clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb but does not express a complete thought. It cannot stand alone as a sentence and is dependent on a main clause.
Sentence: "She found a small boy who was very cute."
Subordinate Clause: "who was very cute"
Type of Clause: This is a relative clause . Relative clauses begin with a relative pronoun like 'who', 'whom', 'which', or 'that', and provide more information about a noun in the main clause. In this sentence, "who was very cute" provides more information about "a small boy".
Sentence: "If you study hard, you will get success."
Subordinate Clause: "If you study hard"
Type of Clause: This is an adverbial clause . Adverbial clauses typically begin with subordinating conjunctions like 'if', 'because', 'although', 'when', etc. This clause tells us the condition under which the main clause "you will get success" is true.
Understanding these clauses helps in analyzing and constructing complex sentences by connecting ideas effectively.
