Noun Clauses

REMINDER:

A.   think, feel, believe, know, understand, forget, remember, realize, say, whisper, etc.

B.    that, what, why, how

 

Put an A and a B together to make a noun clause.

 

Knowing which A goes with which B is the challenging part. That will take a lot of listening to English speakers, reading, etc. We have to become familiar with authentic English.
