A noun clause serves the same purpose as a noun. Noun clauses are usually introduced by the subordinating conjunctions that, why, how, if and whether.
A noun clause can act as the subject or object of the verb in the main clause. It can also act as the object of a preposition.
Fill in the blanks with an appropriate subordinating conjunction.
