A noun clause is formed with a subject and a verb that is not a complete sentence. A noun clause is used to add additional information about the noun or pronoun to which it refers.
Examples:
- The man who lives next door has a nice garden. (the relative clause 'who lives next door' gives more information about the noun 'man')
- The place where I bought the car had many to choose from.
- I come from a town that is about two hours west of Boston.
