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.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This journal was completed on Saturday, at 26^th of November 2016 at 5 pm. The method used in the making of this journal is to look for, read, collect, analyze and discuss. As well as we quote from some blogs obtained from the internet and using three references from the book so as to produce a new journal title.

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 illustrates this four types of noun clauses, with examples of their uses in different nominal functions.

no	Noun clause derived from:	Introductory conjunction	Function of clause	example
1.	A statement	That	Subject	That coffee grows in brazil is well known to all.
			Object of verb	I know that coffee grows in Brazil.
			appositive	His belief that coffee grows in Brazil is correct.
2.	A question a.       Expecting yes or no answer.	Whether (or not) also if	Subject	Whether (or not) he gets the money doesn’t concern me.
			Object of verb	Do you know whether (or if) he will get the money
			Object of preposition	We were concerned about whether he would get the money.
	b.      Interogative  word question	Who What Which When Where Why How	Subject	How he gets the money is his own affair.
			Object of verb	I don’t know how he will get the money.
			Object of preposition	We were concerned about how he would get the money.
3.	A request	that	Object of verb	He suggested that I write the letter soon.
4.	An exclamation	What and how	Object of verb	I hadn’t realized what a pretty girl she was.
			Object of preposition	We talked about what a pretty girl she was.

That, whether, if introducing noun clauses are classified as "particles" in some grammar books. The chief meaning of these words is structural-they function merely as connectors.

The generalizing forms of the interrogative words may also appear in noun clauses-whoever, whatever, whichever, whenever, wherever and however.
