§Structures (grammar patterns) 4
relieved + to-infinitive
Use this when the relief comes from learning or doing something; the to-infinitive names the news or event that removed the worry.
जब राहत किसी बात को जानने या करने से मिले, तब 'relieved' के बाद to-infinitive आता है, जो उस घटना को बताता है जिसने चिंता दूर की।
- Radhika was relieved to find her admit card in the bag.
- We were relieved to hear that the train was only ten minutes late.
relieved + that-clause
Use a that-clause when you want a full sentence to explain why the worry has gone; that can be dropped in speech.
जब चिंता समाप्त होने का कारण पूरे वाक्य में बताना हो, तब that-clause आता है; बोलचाल में that हटाया जा सकता है।
- Her parents were relieved that the results were good.
- I am relieved it is all over.
relieved at / by / about sth
Use at or by with a noun for the event that caused the relief; about is used for the matter that was worrying you.
राहत देने वाली घटना के लिए noun के साथ 'at' या 'by' आता है; जिस बात की चिंता थी, उसके लिए 'about' का प्रयोग होता है।
- The villagers were relieved at the arrival of the rain.
- He felt relieved about the interview once it was done.
feel / look / sound + relieved
Relieved describes a person's feeling, so it follows linking verbs such as feel, look, sound or seem; it is not used for things.
'Relieved' व्यक्ति की भावना बताता है, इसलिए यह feel, look, sound या seem जैसी linking verbs के बाद आता है; वस्तुओं के लिए इसका प्रयोग नहीं होता।
- Radhika looked relieved when the bell rang.
- He sounded very relieved on the phone.
