NOUN CLAUSES
İsim cümlesi, bir cümlede herhangi bir ismin yerini alan bağlı bir cümledir ve özne, nesne veya tümleç olarak işlev görür.
İsim cümlesi yapısına hakim olmak, İngilizce’de basit cümlelerin yanı sıra biraz daha karmaşık cümleler kurmanıza
da yardımcı olur. Bu yapı, ileri düzey metinlerin yanı sıra günlük dilde de sıklıkla görülür. YDT’ye gelince, bu yapıyla
oluşturulan cümleler hemen hemen her soru türünde kullanılmaktadır. Bunları anlamak ve metinlere katkılarını analiz
etmek sınav başarınızı önemli ölçüde artıracaktır.
