	shmooliette  +  1168 Sat, 21 Jun 03 12:37 PM Hi there! Can you be more specific about what information you need? Then I can give you a full answer! Would you like to know linguistically ( ie for university etc) or for language learning purposes? But here is some info to start with: A noun clause is a type of subordinate clause, ie it cannot stand on its own and is part of a main clause. There are different types of sub clauses, if you need more information on them just post it here! There are four different kinds of noun clause: 1 That-clause = Everyone believes that Brad Pitt is the most handsome man in the world 2 Wh-clause =What Jennifer Aniston believes is not very important 3 Infinitive clause = My plan is to marry Brad Pitt 4 Ing-clause = I am scared of losing Brad if I don't move to Hollywood. I hope that this is enough to start with, and that the forum has helped you. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to post something.

	rommie  +  23870 Fri, 27 Feb 04 05:05 PM Okay, relax. Let's take this slowly. First off: "What's the difference between noun clauses and complement clauses?" ... This may sound like dumb questions, but I have to ask 1. Do you know what a noun is? 2. Do you know what a complement is? If the answer to both of those is yes, the rest will be easy. If not, we'll take you through it. Rommie rommie Joined on Mon, Jan 26 2004 Earth orbit Regular Member 606 Difference Between, Clauses, Nouns

	rommie  +  24848 Sat, 06 Mar 04 09:51 AM I think that would be a noun phrase, not a noun clause, because the verb is in the infinitive. On the other hand "My plan is that I will marry Brad Pitt" does include a proper noun clause. (Though it suffers from being a particularly difficult plan to achieve).
