Relative Clauses, जिन्हें हिन्दी में सापेक्षिक उपवाक्य कहा जाता है, वाक्यों का एक महत्वपूर्ण भाग होते हैं। ये उपवाक्य मुख्य वाक्य की जानकारी को विस्तारित करते हैं, किसी संज्ञा या संज्ञा समूह को विशेषण के रूप में परिभाषित या सीमित करते हैं। इस तरह के उपवाक्य जो “who,” “whom,” “which,” और “that” जैसे सापेक्षिक सर्वनाम से शुरू होते हैं, वो मुख्य वाक्य से जुड़े होते हैं और उसके अर्थ को समृद्ध बनाते हैं।
इस व्यायाम में अंग्रेजी के Relative Clauses का अभ्यास करना है। छात्रों को प्रत्येक वाक्य में खाली स्थान पर सही सापेक्षिक सर्वनाम को भरना होगा। यह अभ्यास उनकी व्याकरण की समझ को मजबूत करने के साथ-साथ सही सापेक्षिक उपवाक्य का चुनाव करने की उनकी क्षमता को भी बढ़ाएगा।
