OPENING

A. Problem Background
In a noun clause, the full subject and predicate are retained,but the stucture is
change by the addition of a special word order,or by both. These changes permit
the noun clause to fill the same positions and to serve the same functions of
noun clauses.

DISSCUSION
A. Noun clause markers
Recognizing a noun clause isnt all that difficult. They are usually introduced
by the conjunctions that ,if or whether. Noun clause can also be introduced by
question words (how,what,when,where,who,whom,whose,why) and words
ending in ever ( whatever, whenever, wherever)
I dont know why she dislikes me
Whoever said that was right
He told me that he was quitting
I dont know how she managed to do it

Clause is a sentence structure that has a subject and predicate. There are two
kids of clauses that is : independent clause and dependent clause.

1. Independent clause
Independent clause is a sentence structure that can stand alone.
Example :
I meet a man who is very kind to everybody
2. Dependent clause
Dependent clause is part of a sentence, because it is only part of the sentence,
so it can not stand alone.
Example :
The girl who lives next to me comes from Jakarta

B. Parts of a Noun Clause

Remember, because a noun clause is a clause, you should be able to find both
a subject and a verb. Lets do a quick review of these two important terms. (The
noun clauses are underlined.)

a. Subject
A subject is what the clause or sentence is about. The subject is often (but not
always) the thing performing the action of the verb.
Example :
What Peter loves most about reading mysteries is how the authors leave
clues for careful readers.
In this example, the first clause is about Peter, and the second clause is
about authors.

2
 Whoever spilled the milk should clean it up.
In this example, the sentence is about whoever.

b. Verb
A verb is an action word, or a state-of-being word.
Example:
Morning time is when I feel most energetic.
In this example, feel is the action word in the sentence
You may take whichever cookie you want.
In this example, may take and want are action words.

C. Types of Noun Clauses

Lets take a look at how noun clauses are used.
a. Noun Clauses as Subjects
Formula of noun clause of subject

Noun conecctor +s+v+v

Example:
Whoever leaves last should turn off the lights.
In this example, the sentence is about whoever leaves last.
Whoever leaves last is also the person performing the action of
turning off the lights. Therefore, the noun clause is the subject of the
sentence.
That people need water to survive should be obvious to everyone.
Here, the sentence is about the fact that people need water to
survive, and so the noun clause works as the subject.

b. Noun Clauses as Objects of verb

The formula of noun clause as object of verb

S+V+noun connector +S+V

Example :

My dog will eat whatever food I give him.

Here, the noun clause receives the action of the verb eat so it is a
direct object. It answers the question, eat what?
The judges will award whichever painting they like the most the blue
ribbon.

3
 Here, the noun clause is receiving the direct object blue ribbon.
(Blue ribbon is the direct object because it is receiving the verb
award.)
I want to play with whoever is a good sport.
In this case, the noun clause is receiving the preposition with.

c. Noun clause object as preposition

The formula of noun clause object as preposition

S+V+preposition+noun connector+V

Example :
You should be careful of what you will say
I have bought a lot snacks for when I het hungry suddenly

D. Noun clauses
Noun clause is a clause (a combination of two or more words consisting of
subject and verb but not from a perfect tenses) that functions as noun ,so that it
can function both as subject and sentences object.
Actually seen in terms of the rules of making a sentences, noun clause may
already meet the element of S+VERB+OBJECT.
but that not perfect because its position is domiciled as an object that requires
a subject and verb or Indonesia language called predicate so that it can be said as
a perfect sentences. Therefore do not be surprised if there is noun clause in the
form of the sentences that has not been perfect.
Example : I know you lie to me.
You lie to me is a combination of several words that contain the subject (you),
verb (lie), object (me). But can not be said perfect sentence because its position
in the sentences is object of sentence I know.

E. Formulation noun clause

1) Interrogative sentences
Although the from is a question word, but the formal of the sentence
remains in the from of statement because it is a sentence. In the sentence I
do not who you are. I do not is the parent sentences, and who you are is the
clause.
Question words: which includes the question word is: what, when, where,
who, why, and how.

Example:
You should know when you have to go
I parked my care where you waited me yesterday

4
 I dont know why you said good bye
This the way how fix the problem we face

2) Statement
Noun clause statement are introduce by the conjunction that. They may
have animal have any nominal function that of object of a preposition.
Example:
That the childs fever has gone down is very encouraging
That the water has become polluted is a matter of grave concern

Noun clause is usually preceded by the perent sentence with a verb:

Assome, believe, discover, dream, gues, hear, know, learn, notice, predict,
prove,realize, suppose, suspect and think.
Example :
I believe that a can prove that I am not guilty in this case
You must realize that you dont deserve to marry her, she comea
from a rich family,and you are not.

3) Object
They are to form: direct object and indirect object
a) Direct object
Noun clauses as a direct object is in the sentence of no direct (indirect
statement)
The pattern is:
S+v+(O)+Noun clause

Example :
He asked me where she lived
He told me that she lived in Jl. Sudirman
He asked me if she lived in Jl.Sudirman
I can not remember what you told me

b) Indirect object
This clause is an extension of the pronoun : him,her,you.
The connection used is: who,whoever.
The pattern is :
S+V+O+To/for+Noun Clauses
Example :
Ill tell his address to her

5
 Ill tell his address to whoever wants to know
Ill buy a present fot her
I ll buy a present for whoever finishes first
Noun clauses as an indirect object can be placed after verb,but forward
word to/for must be omitted.

The pattern is:

S+V+Noun Clouse+O

Example :

Ill tell whoever to know his address

Ill buy whoever finishes first a parents
Ill bake whoever feels hungry a cake

6
 CONCLUSION
Noun clousr is a clause consisting of thr conjuction+s+p+o+k and serves as a noun
whose position can be in subject,complement,or object position.

The hallmark of noun clause is to start with a quistion : where, when, who, what, that
(if), if (whethrer). Noun clause can occupy the position of subject,complement or object.
