Noun Clause

Noun Clause

Noun clause is a clause (ie subject and verb) is used as a noun. Noun clause in the sentence is generally used as subject and object of the sentence.

Noun clauses can be initiated by:

    * Question word or relative pronoun question whether a single word or phrase:
          o Single question word (ie when, how, what, ect.).
          o Question word + determiner / noun / adjective / adverb.
          o Question word + infinitive.
    * Conjunction (i.e. whether and if).
    * That or the fact that.

So that the pattern of the noun clause is:

Question word / conjunction / that + subject + verb + ...
A. Noun Clauses beginning with the words Question

In How to Address Questions were discussed about the use of the word good in making the information asked questions as well as in making the embedded questions. Embedded questions are noun clause. In this section provided additional examples to refresh your memory.
A. Single question words.

Example:

   A. Where she is now is still unknown.
   2. They arrive when is still uncertain.
   3. I know what you did last summer and I still know what you did last summer are two Hollywood movies starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt. Note: in this sentence, noun clause what you did last summer became the object of I know and I still know, and when combined with: two Hollywood movies are starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt, a compound subject of the sentence.

Noun clauses can be placed at the beginning of a sentence (as subject) or as an object. If you want to change the position of the subject noun clause object sentences into sentences, it is usually necessary pronoun or a slightly modified words. The above example becomes:

   1. It is still unknown where she is now.
   2. Do you know when They arrive?
   3. Two Hollywood movies starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt are I know what you did last summer and I still know what you did last summer. Because the title of movies, noun clause what you did last summer did not need to be rotated position.

Note:

a) clause is preceded by a question of certain words (ie when, Whenever, where) it can also function as an adverbial clause.

Example:

   A. I was reading a book when the phone rang.
   2. I went to where I and my ex girlfriend had been last weekend.
   3. Suddenly I get nausea Whenever I see his face. (Nausea = nausea / vomiting want).

Another example can be read on the topic: Conjunctions.

b). Clause is preceded by a question of certain words (ie who, whom, Whose + noun) can also serve as an adjective clause. In this case, said the real question is the relative pronoun. Well, do not mess around with the term. What is important you understand the pattern / structure of the sentence. But, if you are curious, please read the topic adjective clauses.

Example:

   A. I think you whom Mr. Dodi was looking for. (I'm guessing you (people) that Mr. Dodi was looking for earlier).
   2. Mr. Dodi, Who is a teacher, was looking for you at school.
   3. Rommy, Whose book was stolen last week, just bought another new book yesterday.

So, how to distinguish whether it is the noun clause, the adverbial clause, or adjective clause? The answer is simple. Noun clauses can be replaced with the pronoun it, while the adverbial clause and adjective clause no. Noun clause answers the question what and WHO / whom; adverbial clause to answer questions when, where, how (including how much, how Often, ect), and why. Adjective clause (ie in the form of an adjective clause) described noun, and the relative pronounnya (ie who, that, ect.) In the Indonesian language means "the". Adverbial clauses are mentioned in the discussion of conjunctions. Especially for the differences in noun clause and adjective clause can be read on the topic: Differences Adjective Noun Clause and Clause.
2. Question words ever + / soever

Except how, at the end of question words can ever or soever be added Whenever = whensoever, whatever = whatsoever, and so on. Meaning here ever or soever the same, that it / was, living combined with a question word in front of him. Meanwhile, how + ever be however (ie adverb or also called transition words that mean yet / even if the case) are not included in this category.

Example:

   A. We will accept whatever you want us to do. (We will accept / do whatever you want us to do).
   2. Whoever can melt her feeling is a very lucky guy. (Melt = melt). Be careful: guy (pronounced gae) = men, while gay (read gei) = fag = homosexual.
   3. She has Agreed to Wherever the man would bring her. (He has agreed to take him wherever he goes). Note: in speaking (informal), preposition (in this case to, etc.) Is usually placed at the end of the sentence. She has Agreed Wherever the man would bring her to.

3. Question words + nouns

Question words + nouns that are used among other things: what time (time), what day (any day), what time (time), what kind (kind), what type (what type), Whose + nouns (ie Whose car, Whose book, ect.), and so on.

   2. I am lost. Could you tell me how far it is from here to the post office?
   3. What a jerk. He did not even ask how long I had been waiting for him.

5. Question words + determiners.

Question determiners + words frequently used are: how many (how many) and how much (how much). Remember: how many plural nouns followed by, while how much was followed by uncountable nouns.

   2. How much will your English skills improv is determined by how hard you practice.

6. Question words + adverbs.

Question words + adverbs are often used is: how Often (how often), how many times (how many times) ect.

Example:

   2. I do not want my parents to know how many times I have left school early. (Leave school early = absent).

7. Question words + infinitives.

If the question was immediately followed by infinitives words, it implies invinitives should or can / could. Note that the subject after the question words omitted.

For use if, in addition to conjunctions discussed topic, the topic was also dealt with conditionals. Note: whether the same pronunciation with the weather (weather), his writing is also similar. Be careful, do not be confused.

Example:

   A. I am not sure whether she is coming or not = I am not sure whether or not she is coming = I am not sure whether she is coming. (I'm not sure if he will come or not).
   2. We can not Decide whether we should go out or stay home. = We can not Decide whether to go or (to) stay home. Note, infinitives can also be used after the whether.
   3. I am not sure whether I should take economics or law after I graduate from high school. (I'm not sure if I should ngambil Economic Law after graduating from high school or later).
   4. If you take economics, I will take economics. On the other hand, if you take law, I will take law too.

C. Noun clauses beginning with that / the fact That

That means that here, while the fact That means the fact that. Meanwhile, that means that the adjective clauses.

Now let's make a sentence using the exercise:

   A. It is + (true, too bad, unfortunate, strange, impossible, Unlikely, a well known fact, my belief, etc) + (that / the fact that) + S + V.
   2. It stative + + (that / the fact that) + S + V. Words that include stative verbs can be seen on the topic of simple present tense.
