PrintIt 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.
