Hello. In the sentence "That it looks like rain is what worries me" and the others containing two noun clauses, you describe the second one following the verb-to-be is as a direct object. Wouldn't that noun clause be acting as a subject complement? Also all the words that begin a noun clause you have identified as conjunctions. I have been taught to call relative pronouns except for the subordinating conjunctions how, when, why, where,whether, and if. Are both terms correct?

Thank you for your comment. Yes, you are correct that I should have said that the noun clause in that sentence is a subject complement. Also, I should have used the term subordinating conjunction. It appears that there are different terms used to describe these words. I find them described as relative pronouns on some sites, while others call the same words subordinating conjunctions. I may consider remaking this video to make this clearer. I am sorry for the confusion.

Very very helpful

Hello, I've got a question "Your statement that you lost the money cannot be believed" I was doing exercises when the answer I chose for this turned out to be incorrect. I was wondering if you could explain which clause it actually is

@WritingBetter

2 жыл бұрын

The main sentence here is: “Your statement cannot be believed. “ So, the noun clause would be “ that you lost the money “. “that you lost the money”= “your statement”. I hope this helps.

Furthermore, this is called a Pure Nominal Clause in apposition (in case you want to investigate a little bit more). I believe these types of clauses are supposed to be written in between commas :)

Can noun clause function as object complement or adjective clause function as object modifier

Thank you for the explanation. But, I have a question regarding the conjunction "That". From the video, " that" can be ommitted as the adjective complement. So, is it still a complex sentence when the conjuntion "that" is ommitted? or does it become simple sentence because there's no subordinate conjunction. Please answer my question. I'm waiting for your answer. Thank you...😊

This explanation may be helpful: academicguides.waldenu.edu/formandstyle/writing/grammarmechanics/that "In formal written English, for clarity, most academic writers choose to keep "that" when it introduces a noun clause (Caplan, 2012). Leaving out "that" can cause the reader to misread (at first anyway) the subject of the dependent clause as being the object of the reporting verb (Jamieson, 2012). For example, if readers see the sentence, "Smith (2015) reported more research was necessary" (without "that"), they may understand “more research” as the thing Smith reported and then have to backtrack and reread upon seeing “was necessary.” Any structure that leads to misinterpretation, even temporarily, can be an unwanted distraction from the writer’s message. In spoken English, however, "that" may be dropped in such sentences. (Intonation patterns-rising and falling pitch-give the listener clues that may not be present in writing.)" Here is another explanation that might be helpful: www.eapfoundation.com/writing/skills/grammar/ So, to answer your question, leaving out the word "that" does not change it to a simple sentence.

Hi, teacher! I thought "b" verbs were always followed by complements, not objects.

Yes, you are correct. I believe in the video it shows the noun clause being used as a subject complement when used after. “be” verb form.

Looks like you confused conjunctions with pronouns; e.g. which, what whoever, etc. are pronouns, never conjunctions! All dictionaries agree😀

I am sorry if you found this confusing. It might have been clearer if I had used “subordinating conjunction”. These words are subordinating conjunctions that connect a noun clause to an independent clause. For reference: www.englishgrammar.org/subordinating-conjunctions/ www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/subordinate_clause.htm
