Answer 1

Answer:

ln the first sentence above,' what the teacher taught' is a Noun Clause. lt is so because it has a subject 'teacher' and a verb 'taught' in the expression. The expression itself functions as the subject of the verb 'was'. Why? lt is so because it is a noun-and pronoun only -that can act as the subject of a verb. ln this case what we have there is acting as a noun;not pronoun. ln the second sentence,'what was left in the pot' is a noun clause. Why? lt has a subject 'what' and a verb 'was left' in the expression. lt functions as the 'object of the verb ate'. How? By explaining the verb 'ate'.lt is the object of a sentence that also explains the verb and functions as a noun.
