Here's a clever way to introduce language learners to noun clauses. After a brief exercise that provides examples of different types of noun clauses, class members listen to the Association's "Never, My Love" and identify the clauses in the song. The lesson ends with individuals writing a short paragraph about something they are very determined to accomplish.
