A noun clause is a group of words that includes a verb but is not a complete sentence and functions as a noun in sentence.
Examples:

  • Why some people live in tall apartment buildings is something I'll never understand. (subject of the sentence)
  • I know what I want. (adverbial clause functioning as a noun, direct object of the verb 'know')
  • You may have some of the cookies I made. (object of the preposition 'of')

A relative clause is a group of words introduced by a relative pronoun that gives information that relates to it's antecedent.

The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

Examples:

  • The family that bought the house is from Ohio.
  • The teacher who assigned the work should answer your questions.
  • The man whose car I hit was very nice about it.
