Words that start off clause functions as noun?
Hi. I think such words like "that" and "which" can start off a clause that has them function as a noun.
eg,
I was surprised to find out that he is 6-feet tall.
Here, I think the part "that he is 6-feet tall" is a noun (functions as a noun?).
Having said that, could you tell me if the same can be said of these? If they could (or any of them could), please give some simple examples which show them acting as nouns?
whichever
whenever
whoever

Whoever wins gets the trophy. Whichever I choose, I'm bound to be wrong. Whenever , like when , is an adverb and will not form nouns.
