Question

what is the grammatical names and functions of the following? .... that you will be promoted * ....while I was waiting for you * ....whom I met in the office ....that John would be elected *.

Answer 1

Explanation:

In German grammars such clauses with a determinative pronoun are called "determinative clauses". They are clauses of the type:

1 alles, was ich mir wünsche ... (all I want ... ) 2 everthing that + clause 3 Repeat what you have said / variant: Repeat that which you have said.

I think English grammars don't use the term "determinative pronouns" and "determinative clauses" - at least I haven't read such terms up to

It functions as a subject of a sentence. The gramatical names given to the sentence is noun clause due to existence of the verb made by the subject.
