Nominal clauses XD

 Nominal clauses fulfill the same function as nouns in a sentence, they can be the subject of a verb:

What she said was a big lie. (What she said was a big lie.

It can be the object of a verb:

My friends didn't know that I could ride a bike.

They can be the complements of a subject.

His mistake of him was that he decided to stop studying.

  A nominal clause can be the object of a preposition.

Her parents of her are not responsible for what she did. (Her parents of hers are not responsible for what she did)

It can be the complement of an adjective.

His family de él is sad that he drowned.

Omission of relative pronouns:

As we have already seen, nominal clauses are usually preceded by one of the relative pronouns, and, except for the pronoun that, they can be omitted to indicate a nominal clause:

My friends didn't know that I could ride a bike. correct

My friends didn't know I could ride a bike. incorrect

Order in nominal clauses

For nominal clauses, the order established for affirmations and denials must be respected, even when it is an interrogative sentence.

Incorrect: Do you know what time is it? (Do you know what time it is?)

Correct: Do you know what time it is? (Do you know what time it is?)
