Nominal clause
This type of clause fills the subject or object slot in a
sentence.
Examples
I asked her why she
had come.
He felt that he
needed to leave.
She told her mother she
would be late home.
That she was angry was
obvious.
How the album will do
depends on the fans.
Although we do not specifically teach nominal clauses at primary level, it is useful for teachers to be aware of these, since children will use these structures in their writing (particularly in reported speech) and will come across them in texts.
