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.
Example:
Why some people want to live in tall apartment buildings is something I'll never understand. (subject of the verb 'is')
My car is the one parked next to the fire hydrant. (object of the verb 'is')
A noun clause is often introduced by a relative pronoun, the noun clause is then called a relative clause which gives information about the antecedent.
The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.
Examples:
The man who fixed the dishwasher was recommended by my sister.
The people to whom we sent invitations are all current customers.

A noun clause containing a relative clause is a type of sentence structure where a relative clause, which provides additional information about a noun, functions as the subject or object of the sentence.

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.
