Question aboutnoun clauses
Hello: Could someone please explain subject and object noun clauses to me? Here are some example sentences that I need to identify the subject and object noun clauses for:
We regret we don't see you often.
It seems clear that the plan is unworkable.
That she hates it is obvious.
-------------------------------------
I would greatly appreciate help with this. Thanks
Marie
