- 4. Noun Clause Definition A nounclause 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.

- 6. Purpose of aNoun 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 aVerb 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 aVerb 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 pickup 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 apreposition 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 butnot 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?
