Blog Writing #10.3: Noun Clauses (due Friday, 10/18)

Here is a chance for you to ask me a personal question, but you have to use a noun clause.

You can start it like this:
Holly, I'd like to know what your middle name is.

Or...
Holly, could you tell me what your middle name is?

Or... if you have another way to ask the question using a noun clause, TERRIFIC.

I'm not sure WHICH QUESTIONS I'LL ANSWER yet. Let's see what you come up with!

Ask me three questions.

    I would love to answer your questions, Nayef, but none of your sentences are correct, and because I'm your grammar teacher, I can only answer correct questions.

    That's okay. You can try again.

      Where are the other two questions? I mean, I'd like to know where the other questions are.

      Regarding "the best trip I have," the noun clause is correct; however the verb inside the noun clause is incorrect. Try again. In America, you get three strikes before you're out ;)

      A noun clause has a noun clause word, a subject, and a verb.

      1. What's the verb inside the noun clause (hint: "like" is part of your adjective clause describing food)?

      2. Same problem as #1.

      3. Incorrect form.

      That's one strike. Three strikes and you're out!
