    Wow, Karla I liked the way you talk. You sound like a real teacher. What I learn from all your post is that noun clauses use introducting words to begin and sometimes they can be omitted and still the sentence has its meaning. I just have a doubt how can we differentiate a noun clause from a relative clause, because they sometimes begin with the same introducting words?

    Hi Karla. I like your explanation about noun clauses. We have been studying them and I know they can be quite hard. In this audio post I learned more about noun clauses. For ex. Now I know that noun clauses can work as subjects or objects of the sentence. I appreciate your help in this topic but I have a doubth. Which are the Wh- words that we can use as a noun clauses?

Transitive and intransitive verbs

How to Identify a Transitive Verb Transitive verbs are not just verbs that can take an object; they demand objects. Without an object to affect, the sentence that a transitive verb inhabits will not seem complete. Please bring coffee. In this sentence, the verb bring is transitive; its object is coffee, the thing that is being brought. Without an object of some kind, this verb cannot function. Please bring. Bring what, or who? The question begs itself because the meaning of bring demands it. Here are some more examples of transitive verbs and their objects. The girls carry water to their village. Juan threw the ball. Could you phone the neighbors? I caught a cold. She loves rainbows. Lila conveyed the message. Each of the verbs in these sentences have objects that complete the verbs’ actions. If the objects were taken out, the results would be illogical and questions would be raised in the mind of the reader; for example, Lila conveyed.

Defining and non-defining phrases and clauses

Comparison Chart. What is a defining relative clause? While both types of relative clauses add extra information to the sentence, a defining relative clause clearly adds detail about a specific noun that is defined. Examples: “My brother who finished university this summer is spending the year travelling.” “The house whose doors are shuttered is rumoured to be haunted!” In both the examples above, you can see an extra clause in the middle of the sentence following the words “who” or “whose” which contain additional information. They relate to a specific noun that has been pointed out uniquely identified: “my brother” or “the house”. So how do you put together a defining relative clause? You’ll need to use a relative pronoun such as “who”, “whose” or “which”. An important point to note is that without the additional clause, the sentence would not retain the same meaning. What is a non-defining relative clause? N
