We have seen that clauses are parts of a sentence, and they are classified as main and subordinate or dependent clauses. Dependent clauses can be further classified as follows according to the work they do in a sentence.
How do we decide whether a clause is a noun clause, an adjective clause or an adverb clause? There is a simple rule - we can replace an adverb clause with an adverb, an adjective clause with an adjective and a noun clause with a noun.
Look at the following examples -
- But I don’t know the answer. (Noun)
But I don’t know what they want. (Noun clause) - He told us a funny story. (Adjective)
He told us a story that was funny. (Adjective clause) - They went away. (Adverb)
They went when you were talking to your friend. (Adverb clause)

- But I don’t know ____________.
