Noun clauses act in the same way other nouns act.  They can act as the subject of a sentence, predicate nominate, direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition, and appositive or appositive phrase.  They usually have a subordinating conjunction that introduces them.

Go to the following sites to learn more about noun clauses.

Adverb clauses act in the same way that adverbs function. They describe verbs, adverbs, or adjectives.  They answer the questions how?, where?, when?, why?, and to what extent?

Throughout the week we will be learning about types of dependent clauses: adjective clauses, adverb clauses, and noun clauses.

Have fun learning about the kinds of clauses by clicking on each day of the week in the categories section.

Each day you will have to write a summary of what you learned regarding clauses by writing a comment on the ESCRIBIR COMENTARIOS section.
