How to determine the type of clause?

Noun clause, attributive clause, adverbial clause. . . Noun clauses can be divided into subject clauses, object clauses, predicative clauses and appositive clauses.

Now let’s talk about the difference:

Subject clause: that is, the clause serves as the subject component in the compound sentence.

For example: Whose watch was lost is unknown.

Here Whose watch was lost is a subject clause, is is the predicate, and unknown serves as the predicative component. The entire compound sentence is a subject-predicate list structure.

Object clause: that is, the clause acts as an object component in a compound sentence.

For example: I have found out that all the tickets for the concert have been sold out.

I have found out that all the tickets for the concert have been sold out.

Here all the tickets for the concert have been sold out. It is an object clause introduced by that.

Obviously, I is the subject of the compound sentence, have found out is the predicate of the sentence, and the following sentences serve as objects.

Predicative clause: that is, the clause serves as a predicative component in a compound sentence

For example: His suggestion is that we should stay calm.

is is followed by Predicative, used to describe the content, nature, etc. of the subject. . .

Appositive clause: The clause used as an appositive clause in a compound sentence is called an appositive clause. It usually follows certain nouns to describe the specific content represented by the noun.

For example: l have no idea When he will be back. I don't know when he will come back. He must answer the question whether he agrees to it or not.

Adverbial clause: that is, the clause acts as an adverbial component in a compound sentence.

Clauses used to modify predicate verbs, other verbs, attributives, adverbials or the entire sentence are called adverbial clauses.

Adverbial clauses can be divided into: 1. Adverbial clause of time; 2. Adverbial clause of place; 3. Adverbial clause of reason; 4. Adverbial clause of condition; 5. Adverbial clause of purpose; 6. Adverbial clause of concession; 7 .Adverbial clause of comparison; 8. Adverbial clause of degree; 9. Adverbial clause of manner; 10. Adverbial clause of result.

Attributive clause: that is, the clause serves as the attributive in a compound sentence.

1 Attributives can be served by adjectives, nouns, pronouns, numerals, participles, adverbs, infinitives and prepositional phrases, or they can be served by a sentence.

Attributive clauses are clauses guided by relative pronouns or relative adverbs. Their function is to modify a certain noun component of the main clause as an attributive, which is equivalent to an adjective, so it is also called an adjective clause.

2 Attributive clauses are used to modify nouns, pronouns or the entire main clause.

3 Attributive clauses are divided into two types: finite and non-finite clauses.

4 Conditions for the existence of attributive clauses: antecedent relative word (some versions use it as a relative word) clause

For example: The boys who are playing football are from Class One.

Obviously, the following clause introduced by who is used to describe or limit the boys, which is called an attributive clause. . .
