  1. GRANGE SCHOOL YEAR 8- ENGLISH NOUN CLAUSE AND NOUN PHRASE

  2. THE NOUN CLAUSE It is not a phrase! I repeat, it is not a PHRASE!!!

  3. DO NOW (3 MINS) TRUE OR FALSE • The noun phrase and noun clause act as a noun. • The noun phrase and the noun clause are one and the same. • The noun phrase has a specific format in which it exists. • The noun clause has a specific format in which it exists. • The noun clause cannot be substituted by the noun phrase. • The noun clause never has a verb in it. • The noun phrase never has a verb in it.

  4. STARTER (3 mins) Below are two underlined expressions in each sentence. Identify which one is the noun clause, and which is the noun phrase. 1. The busy man at the store complained that the storeroom isn’t big enough anymore. 2. Why I came home late bothers my very angry dad. 3. The old black man asked me where his wallet was.

  6. MAIN LESSON Take note of the vital information below – Noun Clause and Noun Phrase in a nutshell.

  7. A Noun Clause can function in any way that a noun can, so can a Noun Phrase. The following examples illustrate what a Noun Clause looks like and how it would logically look like if you really wanted to call it a Noun Phrase. Both illustrations are underlined in all the sentences. Example: That he came very late annoyed the boss (Noun Clause) His lateness annoyed the boss (Noun Phrase) He realized that it was too late(Noun Clause) He realized the lateness. (Noun Phrase) Going home early is what I consider the best choice. (Noun Clause) Going home early is the best choice. (Noun Phrase) The fact that he came late annoyed the boss. (Noun Clause) The fact about his lateness annoyed the boss. (Noun Phrases - usually connected by a preposition)

  8. A Noun Clause is a group of words containing a subject and a predicate (a predicate always has a verb in it, so a Noun Clause must always have a verb in it. • On the other hand, a Noun Phrase never has a verb in it. It consists of a noun preceded by determiners or adjectives.

  9. A more complicated form of the Noun Phrase includes two or more Noun Phrases embedded in one Noun Phrase. For example: The tall girl in the garden by the old house is pretty. This is a Noun Phrase, not a NOUN CLAUSE!!!. Analysis The tall girl in the garden by the old house Noun Phrase Noun Phrase Noun Phrase Preposition Preposition

  10. Would you like to see what the Noun Clause version of the last sentence is? Here it is… That the tall girl in the garden by the old house is pretty is not surprising. (Noun Clause, not Noun Phrase!!!)

  11. Here are some things you should know: • A Noun Clause is always preceded with any one of the following: that, what, where, who, whoever, why, when, and whatever. • A Noun Phrase is preceded by determiners and adjectives. • Noun Phrases are linked by prepositions (on, in, by, beside, about) and conjunctions (and, or).

  13. WORK Remember that song in the Sounds of Music movie? “My Favourite Things”? That we used in the first lesson? Lets see how many exciting noun phrases and noun clauses can be found in there. UNDERLINE THE NOUN PHRASES, AND CIRCLE THE NOUN CLAUSES IN THE SONG BELOW. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages tied up with strings. These are a few of my favourite things. Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple streudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favouritethings. Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favourite things. When the dog bites When the bee stings When I’m feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don’t feel so bad
