Noun clause

Noun clause Let’s start

Yeah ,it was about The noun clause which is a dependent clause that functions as a noun (that is, as a subject, object, or complement) within a sentence. Do you remember what you’ve studied in the last lecture!!

So.. Noun clauses can be used in a number of ways As a Subject of a Verb As a Subject Complement As an Object of a Verb

Subject of a Verb When there's a verb in the sentence, you must find the subject. we can ask "What made her friends cry?“ and the answer is "What Alaa said.“ So the subject is “what Alaa said” E.G: What Alaa said made her friends cry. the subject of the verb

Subject of a Verb we can ask "What surprised?" and the answer is "What Megan wrote." E.G:What Megan wrote surprised her family. the subject of the verb Do you now see how a noun clause can act as a subject of a verb?

Object of a Verb In the same vein, noun clauses can also act as the object of a verb E.G: I believe that everything happens for a reason. Once again, we can use the method of questioning to demonstrate how the noun clause is being used. The object of the verb

Object of a Verb E.G: He wonderedwhether I could cook. The object of the verb

Subject Complement Noun clauses are subject complement when they comeafter linking verbs” be, become, seem, look.”

Subject Complement Once again, see what questions these noun clauses answer and how they relate to thesubject Carlie's problem was that she didn't do the dishes. What was Carlie's problem?

Subject Complement YouLook what you claim to be. How do I look ? Without these clauses, the sentences would not be complete thoughts grammatically, nor would they sound complete at all.

Let’s DO some exercises

Choose the function of the following noun clauses We discovered what he had asked her. Subject of a verb Subject complement Object of a verb
