The hallmarks of various clauses and the characteristics to pay attention to

You're talking about noun clauses, right? As the name suggests, it is the noun in the sentence that can be used. Divided into:

Subject clause, object clause, predicative clause, copositional clause. The subject clause is usually at the beginning of the clause and is guided by whether, when, what, who, and why, and can also be the subject of the IT form. Object clause:

Guided by that, who, why, whether, if, whatever, whatever, whicever, whomever, it can also be used as a formal object, generally after a transitive verb, as an object.

Addendum: The predicative clause is guided by that, who, which, why, how, what, and it is obvious that the predicate is followed by the conjunctive verb (is, was, were). Homonymous clause:

Generally followed by nouns without actual form, such as: doubt, fact, message, proof, opinion, hopes, impression, evidence, idea, belief, feeling, conclusion, rumour, report, possibility, thought, guarantee, news, order, assurance, etc.

Determinative clauses and related terms.

1.Determinative clause: The definite clause is a clause guided by a relative pronoun or a relative adverb, and its function is to make a definite clause to modify a certain noun component of the main clause, which is equivalent to an adjective, so it is also called an adjective clause, which is generally followed by the antecedent word it modifies.

2.Relative words: The related words of the leading definite clause are called relative words, and the relative words have relative pronouns and relative adverbs.

Relative pronouns include that, which, who, whom, whose, as, etc.; Relational adverbs are where, when, why, etc. Relative words often have three functions: 1. Guide the definite clause.

2. Replace the antecedent. 3. Serve as an ingredient in the definite clause.

3.Determinative: A definite is used to qualify and modify a noun or pronoun, and is a word, phrase or sentence that modifies or defines a noun or pronoun, and is commonly used in Chinese as '......of' representation.

Mainly served by adjectives. In addition, nouns, pronouns, numerals, participles, adverbs, infinitives, and prepositional phrases can also be used as a predicate or by a sentence When a word is used as a predicate, it is usually placed before the word it modifies. When phrases and clauses are used as definite clauses, they are placed after the modified word as postpositional predicates.

Relational pronoun that which

Relational adverb when

Generally speaking.

What a clause. Just what the main clause does.

Conjunctions also mostly act as a certain component in the clause.

Out of that

Except in some cases. Tense issues.

Word order issues. Relative word or conjunction questions.

There are three main categories of clauses in English.

1. Determinative clauses, also known as adjective clauses.

Its pattern is: antecedent word + relative word + clause part (there is always one less component in the clause) Its function is: to make a definite sentence in the main clause.

2. Adverbial clauses, also known as adverbial clauses.

The pattern is: subordinate conjunction + subject-verb structure.

Its function is: to modify the main sentence, to explain the time, place, conditions, methods, causes, purposes, results, comparisons, concessions, etc.

3. Noun clauses.

The pattern is: that whether

Declarative sentence, wh-(ever).

The declarative word order of the special interrogative sentences that are composed.

Its function is: to be the subject, object, and predicate in the main sentence.

and homonyms.

In the sentence structure, there are subject, predicate, object, definite, adverbial, object complement, and the clause is generally a short sentence to replace one of the components. "I am humanbeingEveryone knows the subject object in this sentence, the middle one is the predicate, if you replace "I" with a sentence, that clause is the subject clause.

A definite clause is generally an adjective, which indicates the characteristics that a noun has, so there are definite clauses; An adverbial is generally an adverb that indicates the characteristics of a verb, so there are adverbial clauses. There are others, such as copositional clauses or something, which will gradually be encountered as the study deepens, so I won't explain them here. We hope you are satisfied.
