A NOUN CLAUSE is a group of words with a subject and a verb

Like a noun. . . A noun clause can be a subject, a predicate nominative, a direct object, an indirect object, or an object of a preposition. It can come at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.

You can recognize a noun clause by one of the relative pronouns or adverbs that begin the clause

A noun clause consists of three components: A relative pronoun or adverb A subject A verb

Noun clauses function like nouns. They can be: subject complement object of prepositions

Direct (quoted) Speech vs Indirect (reported) Speech Direct speech Indirect speech Simple present ----- Simple past Present progressive------ Past progressive Simple past----------- Past perfect Present perfect--------- Past perfect

Direct (quoted) speech States the exact words a speaker used. In writing, use quotation marks. John said, “ I love this class. ”

Indirect (reported) speech Reports what a speaker said without using the exact words. There are no quotation marks. John said that he loved this class.

The reporting verbs say and tell are usually in the simple past for both direct and indirect speech.

He said, “It’s great. ” He said it was great “I’m leaving. ” She said she was leaving “I made it. ” He said that he had made it. He said to her, “I’ve never lied. ” he told her that he had never lied

Remember to change pronouns, time and place expressions this and here in indirect speech to keep the speaker’s original meaning. Ann told Rick, “I bought this dress here. ” Ann told Rick that she had bought that dress there.

He said: “I’ll leave now. ” “I’m going to drive” “Traffic may be bad” “She might move. ” “He can help. ” “They have to stay. ” “You must be careful. ” He told me (that) He would leave then. He was going to drive Traffic may be bad she might move he could help They had to stay I must be careful

Reported commands and requests Commands and requests are reported using infinitives, not noun clauses “Bring the book!” She told me to bring the book.

Quoted speech tells who said something and what they said. We use quoted speech for the exact words someone uses. We use it in novels, stories and newspaper articles.

When we don’t want to use the exact words someone said, we use reported speech. We use reported speech often in both speech and writing. It has a main clause and a noun clause. We use reported verbs such as say or tell.

Quoted speech: Muhammad Ali said, “I´m the greatest. ” Repoted speech: Muhammad Ali said he was the greatest.

Changes in reported speech Simple present Simple past Present continuous Past continuous Simple past Past perfect Present perfect Past perfect Will Would Can Could Have to / had Had to

Other changes There are many possible pronoun changes in reported speech. We use the logic of each situation to decide on the changes. Bob said to Alice, “You gave me the wrong book. ” Bob said to Alice she had given him the wrong book.

Time and place expressions can change in reported speech. now then, at that time today, tonight that day, that night yesterday the day before tomorrow the next day this week that week last / next week the week before / after two weeks ago two weeks before here there in this place in that place
