The document appears to be notes from an English class discussing noun clauses. It includes definitions and examples of different types of noun clauses: 1) Noun clauses can function as the subject, object, or object of a preposition in a sentence. Examples are provided to illustrate each case. 2) A game is then described where students will work in groups to guess clues provided on cards within a time limit and classify noun clauses, with the highest scoring group winning. 3) The rest of the document provides examples of sentences with blank spaces for students to identify the type of noun clause, as well as a quote to end the class discussion.

4. Noun Clause
Definition
A noun clause is a group of words (doing the work of a noun) with
a subject and a verb, that can be a subject, object, or objectof a
preposition in a sentence. Seeing examples of each form is the
best way to understand the concept of noun clauses.

12-1 INTRODUCTION

6. Purpose of a Noun Clause
Noun clauses can be used to name something when a
single word isn't enough. It's also important to
remember that these clauses are dependent clauses.
A dependent clause is one that cannot stand by itself.
If a dependent clause is placed alone, it forms a
fragment, not a full sentence. An independent clause
can act as a sentence by itself, but dependent clauses
cannot. Noun clauses commonly begin with words
such as how, that, what, whatever, when, where,
whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom,
whomever, and why.

7. Subject of a Verb
A noun clause can act as the subject of a verb, and we will
break down what that means after some examples:
• What Alicia said made her friends cry.
• What Megan wrote surprised her family.
• How the boy behaved was not very polite.
When there's a verb in the sentence, you must nd the
subject. Therefore, in the rst sentence we can ask "What
made?" and the answer is "What Alicia said." Therefore, "What
Alicia said" is the subject of the verb "made." In the next case,
we can ask "What surprised?" and the answer is "What Megan
wrote." Do you now see how a noun clause can act as a subject
of a verb?

8. Object of a Verb
In the same vein, noun clauses can also act as the direct
object of a verb:
• She didn't realize that the directions were wrong.
• He didn't know why the stove wasn't working.
• They now understand that you should not cheat on a
test.
Once again, we can use the method of questioning to
demonstrate how the noun clause is being used. What
didn't she realize? What didn't he know? And what do
they now understand? The answer in all three cases is
the noun clause!

9. Subject Complement
Let's pick up the pace a little and see if you can gure out how
these noun clauses work as a subject complement (refering
back to modify, describe, or complete the subject of the
clause):
• Carlie's problem was that she didn't practice enough.
• Harry's crowning achievement at school was when he
became class president.
• Darla's excuse for being late was that she had fogotten to set
her alarm.
Once again, do you see what questions these noun clauses
answer and how they relate to the subject? What was Carlie's
problem? What was Harry's crowning achievement? What was
Darla's excuse? Without these clauses, the sentences would
not be complete thoughts grammatically, nor would they sound
complete at all.

10. Object of a preposition
Noun clauses also act as objects of a preposition.
• Harry is not the best provider of what Margie
needs.
• Josephine is not responsible for what Alex
decided to do.
• Allie is the owner of that blue car parked
outside.
Once again, Harry is not the provider of what?
Josephine is not responsible for what? Allie is the
owner of what?

11. Adjective Complement
Last but not least, a noun clause can also act as an
adjective complement, modifying a verb,
adjective, or adverb.
• Her family was happy when Meg returned
home.
• The child is sad that his stomach hurts.
• I'm excited that my best friend is coming to visit.
One more time, ask the questions: Why was the
family happy? Why is the child sad? Why am I
excited?
