Example 3
I want to play with whoever is a
good sport.
In this case, the noun clause is
receiving the preposition ‘with’.
c. Noun Clauses as Compliments
A compliment re-states or gives more information about a noun. It always
follows a state-of-being verb (is, are, am, will be, was, were).
Example 1
The winner will be whoever gets the most votes.
The noun clause here is a complement because it gives more information
about ‘winner’.
Example 2
My hope is that everyone
here becomes friends.
Here, the noun clause is a
complement because it
tells more about ‘hope’.
