- De igual manera, un “Nouns Clause”, puede ser el sujeto o el objeto directo en una oración.


NOTE


Para esta presentación, nos enfocaremos en Noun Clauses que funcionan como objetos directos (direct objects), cuando están seguidos de una actividad mental.

ACLAREMOS ESTO !!!

EXAMPLE:



NOTE

ACLAREMOS ESTO !!!

EXAMPLE:I forgot the wallet



NOTE

ACLAREMOS ESTO !!!


Mental activity



NOTE

ACLAREMOS ESTO !!!


Mental activity

The wallet is just a noun



NOTE

ACLAREMOS ESTO !!!


Mental activity


It is NOT a noun clause because it is just a single word and it doesn´t have a verb included.



NOTE

ACLAREMOS ESTO !!!


The wallet is the Direct object of this sentence.

Mental activity


It is NOT a noun clause because it is just a single word and it doesn´t have a verb included.



Now, look at this other example



I forgot that the wallet was in the car.




Mental activity




Mental activity

This group of words is a noun clause.




This Noun Clause is the Direct object of this sentence.Mental activity





This Noun Clause is the Direct object of this sentence.Mental activity


Because la acción (forgot) recae sobre todo el hecho que la billetera estaba en el

carro


Other mental activities are:

I

- agree- think - believe- feel- guess- hear- see- understand- hope- remember- know


Normally, Noun clauses are introduce in a sentence by a subordinating conjunction



Observe this example



Yo se


ella va a visitarme.



Yo se



- Que piensas de esta oración ?



Yo se



- Que piensas de esta oración ?- Piensas que falta algo ?



Yo se




Yo se ella va a visitarme.



Yo se




Yo se ella va a visitarme.QUE



Yo se




Yo se ella va a visitarme.QUEAsí suena mejor, verdad ?



Yo se




This is a noun clause

Yo se ella va a visitarme.QUEAsí suena mejor, verdad ?



Yo se




This is a noun clause


This is a subordinating conjunction

QUEAsí suena mejor, verdad ?



QUE



QUE

I know She is going to visit me

THAT



QUE


THAT

This subordinating conjunction introduces this Noun Clause.



QUE

We use subordinating conjunctions to link 2 different components in a sentences. We use them to introduce noun clauses.
