A noun clause can be an independent clause a complete thought that
stands on its own as a complete sentence, or a dependent clause that is
not a complete thought that is part of a sentence that includes an
independent clause. Example:
-- The movie is on TV tonight. (independent clause)
-- That I like (dependent clause, it has a subject "I" and a verb "like" but is not a

functions as a unit as the subject of a sentence or a clause and as the
object of a verb or a preposition.
