Noun Clauses
Most people are comfortable with the idea of nouns, but they might not feel so confident when it comes to the idea of a noun clause. A noun clause is a group of words (doing the work of a noun) with a subject and a verb, that can be a subject, object, or object of a preposition in a sentence. Seeing examples of each form is the best way to understand the concept of noun clauses.
Purpose of a Noun Clause
Noun clauses can be used to name something when a single word isn't enough. It's also important to remember that these clauses are dependent clauses. A dependent clause is one that cannot stand by itself. If a dependent clause is placed alone, it forms a fragment, not a full sentence. An independent clause can act as a sentence by itself, but dependent clauses cannot.
Noun clauses commonly begin with words such as how, that, what, whatever, when, where, whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, and why.

ResponderEliminarHave a nice day, dear classmate.
This information is useful to understand the purpose of a noun clause and has examples of how they begin, I like that, but I think you may better put more examples or maybe put a list longer of words about the noun clauses.
