what is a noun clause and what is a tip of finding it out
eplacing it with a pronoun. If you can, your phrase or clause is functioning as a noun.
What I say is true.
(Pronoun test: "It is true." This proves that "What I say" is functioning as a noun.)
39
relative clause
• The last type of clause you need to know is a relative clause.
• Relative clauses use a relative pronoun (see section of relative pronouns if you are unsure).
• For example: 'the cat, who was sitting on the mat, licked his paws'.
40
subordinate clause
• Subordinate clauses are indicated by commas and can appear at any point in the sentences.
• For example: 'Although he is shy, Jascha has lots of friends.'
41
parenthetical clauses
• We give a subordinate clause a special name when it occurs in brackets or dashes. We call these parenthetical clauses.
• For example: Cameron answered the phone (even though he did not want to).
42
noun phrase
• A noun phrase is words around a noun.
• The head word is surrounded by some form of description.
• For example: 'the old rusty car on the drive'.
• We describe what comes before or after the head lexeme 'modification'.
Modification comes in two forms - pre and post.
Pre-modification is when the head word is being modified before its place in the sentence.
• Post-modification is when the head word is being modified after its place in the sentence.
