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)

Now complete the following on your own :

  • But I don’t know ____________.
  • He told us ____________.
  • They went ____________.
