First, what is the noun clause?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these young people.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Incorrect. Prepositions often begin with prepositional phrases. To complete the phrase, the preposition usually teams up with a noun, pronoun, or gerund, or the object of the preposition.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

At noon At = preposition; noon = noun or the object of the preposition.

No. To help, they often state WHERE you are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Behind them Behind = preposition; them = pronoun or the object of the preposition.
