Answer:

What Is a Noun Clause?

A noun clause functions as a noun in a sentence. It follows a linking or copular verb to describe or modify the subject of the sentence. Unlike noun phrases, noun clauses contain both a subject and a verb.

Noun clause examples include:

Do you know what time it is?

Tom can invite whomever he chooses.

I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

Whether Roman accepts the job or not is his business.

The bolded noun clauses are dependent clauses. Unlike independent clauses, they can’t stand alone as full sentences. Noun clauses function to add more details to a sentence. If you’re not sure whether a clause is a noun clause, try replacing it with other nouns or pronouns.

For example:

Do you know it?

Tom can invite her.

I don’t understand him.

It is his business.

If you can successfully replace the clause with a pronoun, you’ve found a noun clause. However, these sentences are much less interesting and detailed than the original versions. Noun clauses are important when making a sentence understandable.

How to Spot a Noun Clause

Because noun clauses can appear almost anywhere in a sentence, they can be tricky to spot. One of the easiest ways to spot a noun clause is to look for these words:

how

that

what

whatever

when

where

whether

which

whichever

who

whoever

whom

whomever

why

While these words can be found in clauses other than noun clauses, noun clauses almost always start with one of these words. They’re another clue to finding a noun clause in a sentence.

Now that you know how to spot a noun clause, learn how to determine its function within the sentence. Take a look at some of the most common roles of noun clauses.

Subject of a Sentence

A noun clause can act as the subject of a sentence. The noun clause itself performs the action in the sentence.

For example:

What Alicia said made her friends cry.

What Megan wrote surprised her family.

How the boy behaved was not very polite.

It’s easy to assume that Alicia, Megan and the boy are the subjects of these sentences. But that’s not quite correct. Ask yourself these questions to find the noun clauses.

What made her friends cry? (What Alicia said)

What surprised her family? (What Megan wrote)

What was not very polite? (How the boy behaved)

A noun clause that functions as the subject of a sentence can be long or short. However, if you’re writing the sentence, keep in mind that a very long noun clause as a subject may be confusing to the reader.

Object of a Verb

Just like all nouns, noun clauses can act as the direct object of a verb. They follow verbs to inform the reader where the action is going.

For example:

The pharmacist checked that the prescription was correct.

He didn't know why the stove wasn't working.

They now understand that you should not cheat on a test.

Once again, you can use the method of questioning to demonstrate how the noun clause is used as a direct object. These are the same questions you would use to find any direct object.

What didn't she realize? (That the directions were wrong)

What didn't he know? (Why the stove wasn't working)

What do they understand? (That you should not cheat on a test)

Try replacing each noun clause with the word it. Each sentence still works because each direct object is a noun.
