Noun Clause
“Ever since you first toddled into a school door, your teachers have been telling
you that a noun is a person, place, thing or idea.”
Remember: 1. A noun is a part of speech. 2. Subjects and objects are parts of
the sentence. 3. Nouns function as subjects or
objects. 4. THEREFORE… Nouns = subjects
or objects!
Example: The burrito gave me
heartburn.
Burrito and heartburn are the nouns in this sentence. Gave is
the verb and burrito is the subject.
Remember…To find the subject
of a sentence, locate the verb and ask
who or what about the verb.
Hint… Dependent signal which introduce noun
clausesWho Whom
Whose Which
That If
Whether What
When Where
How Why
AND… you can add to the list various forms of “-
ever”
Whoever
Whenever
Whatever
Wherever
Always keep in mind…
Many of these words are flexible and can do different things in
different sentences.
