INTRODUCTION
Definition
of noun is word that denominate a noun, while clause is a sentence have pattern
C+S+V. with the result that, noun clause is clause that have function as noun and
can replace the position of noun in a sentence. The function of clause is as a
subject, object of transitive verb and object of preposition. In the rule, to make a sentence noun clause could already meet the elements of S + Verb + Object, but that made him say not
perfect because the position serves as an object that requires a subject and
verb or in Indonesian called predicates until he can be considered as a
sentence perfect. Therefore do not be surprised if there is a noun clause in
the form of a sentence but the definition remains to say a sentence that has not been perfect.

REVIEW AND LITERATURE
In
a noun clause, the full subject and predicate are retained, but the structure
is changed by the addition of a special introductory word by a special word
order, or by both. These changes permit the noun clause to fill the same
position and to serve the same functions as nouns (Marcella Frank, 1972). Noun clause is clause have function as noun and
can replace the position of noun in a sentence. The function of clause is as a
subject, object of transitive verb and object of preposition (Suherman, 2016).
The
functions of noun clause:
1. Noun
clause as object of verb
Example:
I
know when he will arrive.
There are two clause in the example, I know and he will arrive these two clauses are join with the connector when. When changes the clause he will
arrive into a noun clause that function as the object of the verb know.
2. Noun
clause as object of preposition
Example:
I
am concerned about when he will arrive.
The two clauses I
am concerned and he will arrive are
also joined by the connector when. When changes
the clause he will arrive into a noun
clause that function as the object of the preposition about.
3. Noun
clause as subject
Example:
When
he will arrive is not important.
In this example there are two clauses, but they are
in a little harder to recognize. He will
arrive is one of clauses, and the connector when changes it into a noun clause that functions as the subject of
the sentence. To other clause has the noun clause he will arrive as its
subject and is as its verb.
Noun
clauses may be classified according to the kinds of sentence from which they
are derived-statement, question, request, exclamation. The following chart
