Noun clause is an entire clause which takes the place of a noun in another clause or phrase. Like a noun, a noun clause acts as the subject or object of preposition , answering the questions “who(m)” or “what”.
A noun clause takes the place of a noun.
Noun clause can function as :
A subject of a verb : That they should say surprise me.
An object of transitive verb : She denied that she had written a letter.
An object of preposition : Pay careful attention to what I am going to say.
In apposition to a noun or pronoun : Your statement that you found the money in the street will not be believed.
A complement of a verb of incomplete prediction ; His great faer is that he may fail.
