Default noun clause

Does the noun clause modifies the verb?

Default Re: noun clause

Hello Nataly

A noun clause can be the subject of a verb or the object of a verb or preposition:

1. What he said wasn't important. (noun clause as subject)

2. I didn't hear what he said. (noun clause as object)
