Because it also requires a theory because the writer knows the theory without practice
is not possible, and practice without theory is careless. In making this critical journal report
process the author is very grateful to the mother Drs. JH Panggabean, M.Si. Basic

 CHAPTER I
Introduction

A. Background

According to Barbara Dykes (2007: 5) in her book Grammar for Everyone mentioned that
the simplest understanding of grammar. According to him, "grammar is a language to
talk about language" or it can be interpreted grammar is a language for learning
languages. Why is that? Because from grammar, he further explained, we can learn how
to communicate with languages that are related to learning grammar; starting from the
vocabulary and function, sentence patterns, expressions, and food.

Goeffrey Leech (1982: 3) in his English Grammar for Today defines grammar as
"Grammar refers to the mechanism according to which language works when it is used
to communicate." That is, grammar refers to the mechanism in accordance with the
work of the language when used in communication. From that understanding, we can
understand that grammar is the study of how a language works to communicate.

 CHAPTER II
Summary

A noun clause is the one which can function as a noun or noun phrase in a complex
sentence and which begins with conjunction that, an interrogative word or conjunctions
if/whether.

Example:

.

2.1 That-clause

A that-clause is the one that starts with ‘that’. This clause can function in the
sentence either as subject, direct object, subject complement, appositive, or adjective
complement.

Examples:

That all matters are made up of molecules, atoms and other micro bodies has been
proven by scientist.

2.2 Wh-interrogative clause

They have statement word order, even when they occur within questions.

Wh + subject + verb
Examples:

1. What Galileoreally discovered about motion was clarified by Issac Newton with his
Laws of Motion.

Some common adjectives followed by a noun clause :

Afraid certain determined proud
Amused confident horrified sorry
Annoyed conscious happy sure
Anxious convinced glad surprised
Aware celighted eager willing
2.3 If-clause

An if-clause is commonly called a conditional clause in complex sentences. You have

learnt all types of conditional sentences, but in a brief summary, we should recall all such
tyepes;

There are four types of conditional sentences:

2.3.Klausa-If

Clause-If is usually called a conditional clause in complex sentences. You have learned all kinds of

other

YUNI will weigh abaout 1 pound more

Type 2 : If...+past...+would (modal past form)

This type is used to express something unreal or an imaginary past action, meaning it
did not really happen.
 If I have worked carefully, I will find that all changes in mass are observed in
experimental error equipment.

CHAPTER III

The advantages

The topic of NOUN CLAUSE in this book explained well. The material that served by this
book just a little but easy to understand. This book better for people who want study the
basic of noun clause and physics because this book teach about english for physics.

The disadventages

CHAPTER IV
Conclusion and suggestion

Conclusion
A noun clause is the one which can function as a noun or noun phrase in a complex
sentence and which begins with conjunction that, an interrogative word or conjunctions
