Further Explanation:

A noun clause is a clause which functions as a noun in a sentence. A clause is a group of words which do not have complete sense. Also, subject and verb or both are missing in the clause. Clauses are divided into two parts independent clause and a dependent or subordinate clause. The dependent or subordinate clause are divided into three types; the noun clause, the adjective clause, and the adverbial clause. A noun clause is a type of subordinate clause. A subordinate clause is a clause which does not make any sense of being alone in the sentence. It provides additional information to the sentence. A noun clause is a clause which acts as a noun in the sentence. It is used in a sentence when just a word is unable to describe the noun. A noun clause contains a verb and a subject. They are subordinate or dependent clauses. Usually, a noun clause starts with when, how, whichever, whoever, whomever, and why which are known as a relative pronoun. It performs the function of a subject, subject complement, object of the preposition or direct object.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
