The only way to have
them down cold is to practice- steady, everyday, consistent practice.

Noun Clauses
Noun clauses are
part of complex sentences.
Noun clauses are
used with verbs that have to do with the brain, thinking or cognition: e.g. think,
feel, believe, know, understand, forget, remember, realize, get (casual), see
(undertand)
recognize- understand
again
Also verbs about
speaking: say, yell, whisper, shout, state, suggest
Noun clauses most
often begin with these words: that, what, why, how
Two lists of words:
A. VERBS
think, feel, believe, know, understand, forget, remember, realize, say,
mention, yell, shout, whisper, etc.
B. that,
what, why, how
Choose an A word
and put it with a B word.
Mix and match A+B
to make noun clauses.
Examples of complex
sentences with noun clauses:
