True, noun clauses are diagrammed based on their function within a sentence. They can serve as subjects, objects, or complements, and their placement in the diagram reflects their role. For example, when a noun clause acts as the subject, it is placed at the top, while an object noun clause would be positioned accordingly below the verb. This visual representation helps clarify the grammatical structure and relationships within the sentence.

Adjective clauses modify nouns and pronouns, typically starting with a relative pronoun (such as who, which, that). Adverb clauses modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often starting with subordinating conjunctions (such as because, although, if). Look for these clues to identify them in a sentence.
Both adjectives and adjective clauses modify nouns to give more information about them.

Adjective clauses usually contain a subject and a verb and cannot stand alone as complete sentences.
