Question:

Pick out the Noun clause/Adjective clause/Adverb clause in the following sentences:

• It is useless to discuss, what he utters.

• This is the place, where the murder was committed.

• One who lives in the glasshouse should refrain from throwing a stone at others.

• Though he is poor, he is reliable.

• His wish that he may become an MLA is unreasonable.

Answer:

• It is useless to discuss, what he utters.

Noun clause: what he utters.

• This is the place, where the murder was committed.

Adjective clause: where the murder was committed.

• One who lives in the glasshouse should refrain from throwing a stone at others.

Adjective clause: who lives in the glasshouse.

• Though he is poor, he is reliable.

Adjective clause: poor, reliable.

• His wish that he may become an MLA is unreasonable.

Noun clause: that he may become an MLA.

Assimilate:

• They started at dawn.

• They started when morning came.

➨ In the sentence 1, the group of words 'at dawn' is an adverb phrase. It tells us when the action was done.

➨ In the second sentence, the group of words 'when the morning team' is not a adverb phrase because it has a subject and predicate, so it is a clause. Since it does the work of an adverb, it is called adverb clause.

• The table with a broken leg is Mohan's.

• The table which has a broken leg is Mohan's.

➨ The first group of words 'with a broken leg' describes the table; that is it qualifies the noun 'table' and does the work of an adjective.

➨ The second group of words "which has a broken leg" also describes the table, and so does the work of an adjective but since it has an subject and predicate of its own is called adjective phrase.

• The expected to win the match.

• The expected that they would win the match.

➨ In the first group of words, "to win the match" is the object of the verb 'expected', it is therefore does the work of a noun and since it has no Subject and predicate of its own it is called the noun phrase.

➨ The second group of words, "that they would win the match", it is also object of the verb 'expected' and so does the work of a noun but it has a subject and predicate of its own - that's why it is called the noun clause.
