Question

Noun Clauses

1. is this noun clause used as a predicate noun?
- Kendra is asking WHY you are acting that way.

2. is this noun clause used as direct object?

- Do you know WHO is in charge of counting votes?

thank you

Answer 1

You're right about #2, but not about #1. In order to have a predicate noun, the verb must be a linking verb, not an action verb ("is asking").

Answer 2

is # 1 direct object

Answer 3

Yes, it's a direct object, too.
