Presentation transcript:

A Noun Clause is a subordinate clause used as a noun.

A Noun Clause may be used in the following ways: As a Subject As the Object of the Preposition As a Compliment Predicate nominative Direct object Indirect object

The Noun Clause used as a SUBJECT: What Mary Anne did was brave and earned her praise from everyone. The entire Noun Clause comes before the main verb or predicate of the sentence and is therefore the Subject of the sentence.

The Noun Clause used as an OBJECT of the PREPOSITION: He checks the ID cards of whoever visits. The Noun Clause follows a Preposition.

The Noun Clause as a PREDICATE NOMINATIVE: The winner will be whoever runs fastest. The entire Noun Clause follows the main verb or predicate of the sentence and is therefore called the “noun in the predicate” or Predicate Nominative. It explains the subject of the sentence.

The Noun Clause used as a DIRECT OBJECT: She finally discovered what the answer was. The entire Noun Clause in this sentence follows the verb and does not refer to the subject of the sentence. In this case, the Noun Clause receives the action of the verb or shows the results of the action. It answers “Whom?” or “What?” after the action verb.

The Noun Clause used as an INDIRECT OBJECT: The clerk should tell whoever calls the sale prices.

Noun Clause Signal Words: A Noun Clause will begin with one of the following eight words. That What Whatever Who Whoever Whom Whomever How *Note that some of these words are the same as Adjective Clause signal words.
