A noun clause is a type of dependent clause that functions as a noun within a sentence. It can act as the subject, object, or complement of a verb, or as the object of a preposition. Noun clauses typically begin with words such as "that," "whether," "if," or "wh-" words (e.g., who, what, when, where, why, how). They can also be introduced by phrases like "the fact that" or "the idea that." Noun clauses serve the same purpose as a noun, functioning as a single unit and expressing a person, place, thing, idea, or concept.
