Question

I expect to get a prize (using noun clause)​

Answer 1

Answer:

I expect that I would get a prize

Answer 2

Answer:

I expect that I will get a prize.

Explanation:

In the question 'to get a prize' - It does not have subject and predicate of its own. Therefore, it is a phrase. This phrase is the object of the verb 'expect' so it does the work of a noun therefore it is a noun phrase.

Whereas, in sentences 'I expect that I will get a prize' 'that I will get a prize' - It has a Subject and predicate of its own. It is a clause. This clause is the object of the verb except which does the work of a noun therefore it is a noun clause.

Assimilate:

Subordinate clause that does the work of a noun in a sentence is called noun clause.

Since a noun clause does the work of a noun in a complex sentence, it can be - t

1. The subject of the verb.
2. The object of the verb.
3. The object of a preposition.
4. The complement of a verb of incomplete predication.
5. In Apposition to a noun or a pronoun.

➲ In each of the following Complex sentence the noun clause is a subject of the verb; as,

• What she says is quite true.
• That he is an honest man is quite clear.

➲ In each of the following complex sentences the noun clause is used as a complement of a verb of incomplete predication; as,

• Her fear is that she may fail.
• This is what she feared most.

➲ In each of the following Complex sentence the noun clause is the Apposition to a noun or a pronoun; as,

• My hope that you may pass is very strong.
• The report that he was killed is untrue.

N.B: A noun clause is generally introduced by the conjunction 'that' sometimes, however, the conjunction that is omitted; as,

• He says (that) Peter is ill today.
