Need Help, English

[DanGrease]

Hey Fellows
I need help from you guys for a assignment I got at school. I am studying a lot of english right now, most grammar, and my teacher is asking me to find a sentence with four noun clauses in it. I have tried and tired my butt trying to find this so called mystery sentence. I figured why not ask my friends at TechIMO since most of them are americans and can help me. I really need the extra credit (its for extra points) since I am getting average grades because of my lazy body. Please if you are good in grammar stuff (which I am not) please help a swede fellow that is getting stupid headaches because of this

I am probably the last person to help here as my grammar sucks.

What I come up with is pitiful and I think it is a run on sentence.

Whoever wins the game will play in the tournament and whoever loses the game will play in the consolation round, but, if the game is a tie, whoever scores the most runs in the playoffs will be in the tournament and whoever scores the least runs in the playoffs will play in the consolation round.

Dan do a google on noun clauses. Lots of hits there.

Don't anyone get on me for that sentence. I know it's probably pretty lame.

Thanks Bill!
I really don't know if that sentence is right, but it looks like it is at least. I am thankful because you at least came up with a sentence and tried to help me I appreciate that. As for Google, already tried that but came up with nothing. I would see and investigate your sentence a bit more and see if it works for me, but even if it doesnt I appreciate your effort. I knew TechIMO was gonna help me somehow. Thanks

At least you, vass, claim to speak american, and not the 'da computah i'brokah' language that some people here speak, and which I don't understand a word of.

What's a 'noun clause'?

With a little work you could enter a sentence in next years "Bulwer-lytton" contest!

A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate.



David dances while Mary masturbates when Sylvia salivates over Peters' strip-tease act.

Don't use this example as it might get you into a bit of trouble. I hope you get the picture of simple it can be
