A noun clause is a type of clause that functions as a noun within a sentence. It typically includes a subject and a verb and can serve various roles, such as the subject of a sentence, the object of a verb or preposition, or the complement of a copula verb. Noun clauses often begin with words like "that," "whether," or "if," and they can be introduced by phrases like "the fact that" or "the idea that." These clauses can function as single words or as complete sentences within a larger sentence, and they add depth and complexity to the structure of the sentence. Noun clauses are essential for expressing statements, questions, or possibilities in a concise and grammatically correct way.
