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)-

recognize-
understand again
cognitive(adj) The
old man has some cognitive decline.

IDIOM Sharp as a
tack. healthy cognitive capacity
IQ- intelligence
quotient
EQ- emotion

Also verbs about
speaking: say, yell, whisper, shout, state, suggest, recommend
state(verb)
statement(noun)
NOUN CLAUSES-
thinking and saying
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… if, whether (lower frequency)
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
I think that
he is upset about his report card. main clause noun
