Question

I don't understand noun clauses >.< anybody willing to help?

"Whoever said that" is mistaken.
The words in quotes are a noun clause. The entire clause works as a noun
and is the subject of the sentence. A noun clause can also be the direct
object in a sentence. Here is an example: I bought "what I needed." One test
for a noun clause is to see if you can substitute somebody or something for
the clause and still have a sensible-sounding sentence. (Somebody is
mistaken. I bought something.) Noun clauses often begin with how, what,
whatever, when, where, which, who, whose, or whoever.

Answer 1

this is the current problem I'm dealing with regarding noun clauses:

Read the sentence
below and decide if the words in quotes are a noun clause.
"How will the moon be" colonized?
a. Yes
b. No

Answer 2

no, here's something different. will be colonized is a passive future tense and 'the moon' plays the role of subject. so it is not a noun clause.

Answer 14

Answer 15

ok. but how to i determine by myself what the noun clause is?

Answer 16

Try to figure it out as a noun. It mustn't have a verb meaning by it's own. It should be replaced simply by a noun or by a pronoun without any change in meaning.
