Certainly! Here are some examples of "that" used as a noun clause following a noun or adjective: - The fact that she was late annoyed me. - His belief that he could win the race was admirable. - The idea that we should all work together is a good one. - Her fear that she would fail the exam was unfounded. - The hope that we would have good weather for the picnic was dashed with it started to rain. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Surely -That cat that you see is black - I know some information that she spoke about yesterday - Do you believe in UFO that news spread all over the media?
I can give you some examples of 'that' as a noun clause following not verb but noun and adjective. A noun clause is a clause that plays the role of a noun in a sentence. A noun clause starting with 'that' can therefore occupy different slots of a noun such as subject, object, and subject complement. Here are some examples: • The fact that he lied to me hurt me deeply. (Here, the noun clause is the object of the noun 'fact'.) • She was happy that they arrived safely. (Here, the noun clause is the complement of the adjective 'happy'.) • The possibility that it might rain worried him. (Here, the noun clause is the object of the noun 'possibility'.)

A noun clause can serves as a sentence's subject, object or complement in English grammar. Now, to answer your question, in a phrase, a noun clause can come after a noun or an adjective. The term "appositive noun clauses provides noun or adjective and they follow more details or an explanation like this example: His belief that he could succeed motivated him. ("that he could succeed" is a noun clause that functions as an appositive to the noun belief.)
Hello Esin, first of all correct the spellings of the word "adjective". As far as your question is concerned, can you rewrite what exactly do you want to know about noun clauses started by the relative pronoun "that"?

The straw that broke the camel's back.
A noun clause plays the role of the noun, therefore, as is with all clauses, it has a subject and a verb A 'that clause' can be both the subject of object of the verb. Example: The parents believed that she was innocent. - here it's the OBJECT of the verb believed. An example of 'that' clause as the SUBJECT of the verb would be, "That they go to the theater without me was somewhat shocking. - here it's the subject of the verb was. I hope this helps!
Hi Esin, You mean something like that? - I believe that she's innocent. I also want to add that you can find more info about that-clause on Cambridge Dictionary website by searching "that-clause" (verb+that-clause, adj.+that-clause, noun+that-clause). :) I hope it was helpful.

I prioritize an open-door policy, allowing my students to feel at ease when they want to discuss questions or concerns with me. I think this availability really helps to build trust and enhance our student-teacher relationship:)
