अपनी मातृभाषा में
Embedding uses कि clauses and the important जो...वह relative-correlative pattern.
मुझे पता है कि वह आएगा।
To-me known is that he will come.
आपकी सीखी जा रही भाषा में
अंग्रेज़ी बड़े वाक्य के अंदर विचार, बताई गई बात, प्रश्न और relative जानकारी रख सकती है।
I know that she is right.
that she is right = मुख्य वाक्य “I know” के अंदर रखी गई पूरी बात।
सीखने वाले embedded questions में शब्द क्रम गलत कर सकते हैं, या that का बहुत ज़्यादा या बहुत कम प्रयोग कर सकते हैं।
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
