How to tell what a noun clause sentence looks like

A noun clause is a group of words acting together as a noun. These clauses are always dependent clauses. That is, they do not form a complete sentence.

Explanation:

If you have trouble finding the noun clause, try circling the question words in the sentence. This can get you on the right path to finding the noun clause. Also look for the sentence verbs to get you started. A noun clause always contains a verb, so circling the verbs can also show you where the noun clause is.
