KATA BENDA
a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because the dependent clause does not convey a complete thought even though it has a subject and a verb. Meanwhile, noun clauses can function as sentence components such as: subject, object of verb, object of preposition, and subject complement and can be replaced with the pronoun it.
sebuah klausa yang tidak dapat berdiri sendiri sebagai kalimat yang utuh karena dependent clause tidak menyampaikan pemikiran yang lengkap meskipun dia memilikki subyek dan kata kerja. Sedangkan noun clause dapat berfungsi sebagai komponen kalimat seperti: subject, object of verb, object of preposition, dan subject complement serta dapat digantikan dengan pronoun it.
