How to construct a sentence having a noun clause
It is easy to construct a sentence having a noun clause. One way is to begin a sentence like this:
He says that …
Whatever clause you put after ‘that’ will automatically become a noun clause.
- He says that he is ill.
- He says that he is coming.
- He says that he has won a prize.
- He says that it is raining.
Instead of say you can use any of the following verbs:
know, believe, think, realise, feel, hope, understand, wish, see, notice, find, discover, note, hear, listen, say, tell, ask, request, order, explain, suggest, reply, inform
- I knew that she was ill.
- I believe that he will pass.
- I understand that you are in great trouble.
- I wish that I understand his motive.
- She suggested that I should consult a doctor.
- I heard that she was going to act in a film.
