substantive clause

Sometimes in English a noun clause is used without the introductory word.

Who waits modifies him and is not the tail end of a "noun clause."

A noun clause can be used like a noun.

Relative pronouns and interrogative words can also introduce noun clauses:

A subordinating conjunction can also introduce a noun clause:

Noun clauses function the same way that nouns and noun phrases do in a sentence.

(The noun clause that he likes me serves as the object of the main-clause verb know.)

A clause is a noun clause if a pronoun (he, she, it, or they) could be substituted for it.
