The noun clause is 'what happened next'. The relative pronoun 'what' is taking the place of a noun; the clause 'what happened next' is the object of the preposition 'at'.

What is a word or group of words that act as a noun and tells whom or what something is done?

A noun clause is a group of words that contains a noun or pronoun and a verb but is an incomplete thought that can't stand on it's own. A noun clause can perform the function of a noun as the subject of a sentence and the object of a verb or a preposition. Examples:noun clause as subject: The man whose mailbox I hit was very nice about it.noun clause as object: My car is the one parked next to the fire hydrant.noun clause as subject and object: What you wantis the best quality that you can afford.


Which type of pronoun is used to show the connection between the antecedent and the subordinate clause of a sentence?

A relative pronoun introduces a subordinate clause that gives information about the antecedent. The subordinate clause is called a relative clause because it provides information that 'relates' to the antecedent.The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.Example: The man who lives next door gave me flowers from his garden.


What is different meaning between an appositive sentence and adjective clause sentence?

For something to be a clause, it must contain a subject and a verb. An appositive phrase does contain a verb. It's a phrase, associated with a noun, which provides more information about that noun (note that in this sentence, "associated with a noun" is an appositive phrase).Another example of a sentence with an appositive phrase is this:"Johnny, my neighbor, planted a tree."A similar sentence with an adjective clause is this:"Johnny, who lives next door to me, planted a tree."


What grammatical name is given to if he is lucky?

Ah, what a lovely question! "If he is lucky" is known as a conditional clause, where the outcome depends on a certain condition being met. It adds a sense of possibility and uncertainty to the sentence, like a happy little cloud floating in the sky. Keep exploring the beauty of language, my friend!


What is noun clauses containing relative clauses?

A noun clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but is an incomplete thought that can't stand on it's own. A noun clause can perform the function of a noun as the subject of a sentence and the object of a verb or a preposition. A clause is like a sentence that's within a sentence. A noun clause has the function of a noun in the main sentence. For example: "I like Jane." "I" is the subject (a noun), "like" is the predicate (a verb), and "Jane" is the object (a noun). We can substitute for the word "Jane" (which is a noun) a noun clause, such as "that she is so intelligent." "I like that she is intelligent." The entire clause "that she is intelligent" serves the same function as the noun "Jane" did in the original sentence. Thus, it's a noun clause.
