A subject clause may contain either a statement or a question. In the former
case it is preceded by that: in the latter it is introduced by the same words as
interrogative object clauses.
e.g. That she wants to help us is beyond any doubt.
When he is coming has not been decided yet.
Commoner that the patterns with the initial that are sentences introduced by
it, with the that-clause in end-position.
e.g. It is clear that he will never agree to it.
2. Object Clauses:
The simplest case of such clauses are patterns in which a sub-clause can be
replaced by a noun which could be then an object in a simple sentence.
e.g. I know what she wants.
You can take whatever you like.
3. Attributive Clauses
Like attributive adjuncts in a simple sentence, attributive clauses qualify the
thing denoted by its head word through some actions, state or situation in which
the thing is involved.
It has been customary to make distinction between two types of attributive
sub-clauses: restrictive and continuative or amplifying clauses ("defining" and
"non-defining") This division is however too absolute to cover all patterns.
Restrictive clauses are subordinate in meaning to the clause containing the
antecedent; continuative clauses are more independent: their contents might often
be expressed by an independent statement giving some additional information
about the antecedent that is already sufficiently defined. Continuative clauses may
be omitted without affecting the precise understanding of the sentence as a whole.
This is marked by a different intonation, and by a clear break preceding the
continuative clause, no such break separating a restrictive clause from its
antecedent. The presence or absence of such a pause is indicated in writing and in
print by the presence or absence of a comma before as well as after the sub-clause.
