Welcome to today's topic "Noun Clause"
A noun clause is a type of subordinate clause (dependent clause) that acts as a noun in a sentence. Most of the time noun clauses begin with a relative pronoun like what or whatever.
How to use noun clauses?
Noun clauses can do anything a regular noun can do. This means they can act as a:
subject
direct object
indirect object
prepositional object
predicate nominative
Noun clauses completely replace individual nouns in a sentence, no matter how long the noun clauses are or how many words they contain. For example, let’s look at a sentence without a noun clause.
My dog eats things.
The individual noun things is the direct object for eats. If we want to give more detail, we can replace the noun things with a more descriptive noun clause. Not only do noun clauses contain an extra verb for more details, but they can also include other words like adverbs and prepositional phrases.
My dog eats whatever falls on the floor.
What do noun clauses start with?
Relative pronouns:
who
what
where
when
why
how
that
which
Indefinite relative pronouns
whoever
whomever
whatever
wherever
whenever
whichever
Subordinating conjunctions:
if
whether
