In Short -

“A Relative Adverb connects two parts of a sentence and tells when, where, or why something happens.”

Relative Adverb वह शब्द होता है जो आश्रित उपवाक्य (Dependent Clause) की शुरुआत करता है और उसे मुख्य वाक्य (Main Clause) से जोड़ता है।

यह किसी संज्ञा (noun) के बारे में समय, स्थान या कारण की अतिरिक्त जानकारी देता है।

“Relative Adverb वाक्य के दो भागों को जोड़ता है और यह बताता है कि कोई कार्य कब, कहाँ या क्यों हुआ।“

💬 Common Relative Adverbs:

Where (जहाँ) – स्थान 

When (जब) – समय

Why (क्यों) – कारण
