without thinking
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 (understand-casual), see (understand-casual)
cognition(noun)
recognize- understand again
cognitive(adj)
Also verbs about speaking: say, yell, whisper, shout,
state, suggest
state(verb) statement(noun)
Noun clauses most often begin with these words: that,
what, why, how
How can I make a noun clause?
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:

*think + that

card. main clause noun clause
