Step 3 Working out the rules
T asks Ss to work out the rules of subject clauses.
We can use a noun clause as the subject of a sentence.
We can use (1)________ to introduce a subject clause when the clause is a statement. We can use (2)________ to introduce a subject clause when the clause is a yes-no question. We can use a question word to introduce a subject clause when the clause is a wh-question.
We often use (3)________ as a preparatory subject when a subject clause is very long.
