When it comes to the concept of noun clauses, most candidates will be very depressed. Even the clause still doesn't quite understand what it is, and adding a noun in front of it is even more foggy. I tried to ask students this question in class, and the answers were colorful. The correct answer is the same as the answer in the grammar book, but the wrong answer is very strange. As for the study of clauses, I think the explanations given by Huang Laoxie and Zhang Mansheng have reached a state and level, and it is difficult for me to make a new, more general and clearer explanation, so I decided to use them.
What is a clause? This is a concept that must be clarified first. The concept of clause is nothing more than two levels, one is "from" and the other is "sentence". "Subordinate" means subordinate to the sentence, that is, not the most important position. It must have a "sign word" to indicate its subordinate status. "Sentence" tells us that a complete sentence must be followed by a marker. What is a complete sentence? There are two meanings, the content is complete, and there must be at least a subject and a predicate in form. The meaning of a clause can first be understood as a lump (disgusting). The so-called nominal clause is to understand the sentence as a bunch of nouns. That's what it means. When do we need to use noun clauses? First of all, we need to know what constitutes a noun in a sentence. Nouns can be used as subject, object, predicative and appositive, that is, nominal clauses can serve as these four components in a sentence. When we need to integrate these four components into a sentence, it is when these four components are not one thing, but one thing, or more specifically, when actions appear in these components. For example, teachers are very important. It is very important for teachers to teach. One thing is very important. One is that the teacher is very important, but the other is that the teacher's lectures are very important. Why is one subject a word and the other a difference between sentences? The mystery lies in that the former is the subject of things, the latter is the subject of events, or there is a verb called "teaching" in the latter sentence. In this way, even if the subject of the previous sentence becomes very long from the word teacher, as long as there are no verbs, it cannot be a clause when writing a sentence.
What kind of sentences can we solve after figuring out what components of noun clauses can serve as sentences? Simply put, there are three kinds of sentences, one is declarative sentence, the other is general interrogative sentence, and the third is special interrogative sentence.
When the events described by the subject and object are statements of facts, declarative sentences are needed as clauses.
For example, those who favor the "competitive method" believe that competitive skills must be taught to children from an early age. Those who are in favor of the "competitive education law" believe that children must instill the spirit of competition from an early age if they want to survive in the future society. -"Cambridge IELTS Writing Model" P 14L5-6
When the narrative subject-object table contains interrogative elements from the inside, that is, V is not V, such as "yes or no" mood, in order to express this interrogative mood, the leading word should be Wheeler (if it is not discussed because it can be replaced by Wheeler), and then the sentence elements are consistent with the declarative sentence.
The question is what we can learn from video games, or not. The question is whether we can learn anything from video games. -"Advanced Junior Writing in the New TOEFL Test" P28
We often use such clauses in the first paragraph of IELTS writing. For example, when translating the sentence "whether technology is a blessing or a curse has caused a lot of discussion", we should use the clause guided by Wheeler. Whether technology is a blessing or a curse has aroused considerable debate.
When the narrative center is "who (who), who (who), what (what), when, where, which (which), why (why), how (how)", we need to use special questions.
Who will be in charge of this vote is a thorny issue. (Special questions are used as the subject of clauses, and clauses are saved in the form of special questions)
Who will be responsible for pollution is a thorny issue.
The reason why we have so many packages is that we consume much more things every day than our families in the past.
The reason why we produce so much packaging waste is that we consume much more goods every day than our family used to.

"Six sins" that students often commit
The first count: omit the lead.
As can be seen from the chart, the proportion of married men and unmarried women is the same. (W)
As can be seen from the chart, the proportion of married men and unmarried women is the same. (R)
The leading word was omitted in the previous sentence, which led to the heavy predicate in this sentence.
The second crime: abuse of leadership discourse (gild the lily)
Juvenile delinquency has become one of the most serious problems in today's society. (R)
The subject of a sentence is only a phrase, not a sentence, and cannot be mistaken for a clause.
