Noun Clauses- next kind of clause

 

 

Review of sentence styles:

1.    Simple        SV   SSV   SVV   SSVV   Imperative   Interrogative

2.    Compound          SV, SOBA SV.   FANBOYS SOBA! More practical.

SV; SV.

SV; TRANS, SV.  

      3. Complex    -adverb clauses

-noun clauses- this week

-adjective clauses – next week

 

Those are all the sentence styles that you will need. There are derivations on these basic styles, but these three styles of sentences are the foundations for all writing.

These are the absolute basic skills that you must have down cold.

 

IDIOM have it down cold- you can do it automatically, without thinking

 

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

The hard work will pay off.

 

Every sentence has to be simple, compound, or complex.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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), decide

cognition(noun)- understanding

recognize- understand again

cognitive(adj) The old man has some cognitive decline.

Alzheimers, dementia

IDIOM Sharp as a tack. healthy cognitive capacity

IQ- intelligence quotient

EQ- emotion intelligence quotient

 

Also verbs about speaking: say, yell, whisper, shout, state, suggest, recommend

 

state(verb) statement(noun)

 

Noun clauses most often begin with these words: that, what, why, how

There are others as well: *if, whether,

*’if’ can be used in adverb clauses and noun clauses. More on this later.

 

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:

Your example:

*think + that
