Help with noun clauses?

Question

I need a bit of help finding the noun clauses in the following sentences:

The big green parrot speaks to whoever comes into the house.

For many years, no one knew where tuna spawned.
On this special night, dinner will be whatever you'd like.
The police always give tickets to whoever parks in front of a hydrant.
What your room needs is a portable dumpster and a front-loader, young man.

And in these sentences, I need to know how the noun clause is used (subject, direct object, indirect object or object of a preposition)
Why the group had gathered at the mall was a mystery.
I don't know why I said that.
Give whoever calls the directions to our house.
We will go along with whatever you decide.
Practice is how a musician gets to Carnegie Hall.

Thank you, Annie!

And no, violetb, I don't need homework done. I need an English teacher that doesn't talk to her class and her husband on the phone at the same time. :P

Answer 1

WHOEVER COMES INTO THE HOUSE: Noun clause, obj. prep to.

WHERE TUNA SPAWNED: Noun clause, Direct Object of the verb knew.

WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE: Noun clause, Predicate Nominative renaming the subject dinner.

WHOEVER PARKS IN FRONT OF A HYDRANT: Noun clause, Object of the Preposition to.

WHAT YOUR ROOM NEEDS: Noun clause, subject of the verb is.

WHY THE GROUP HAD GATHERED AT THE MALL: Subject of was.

WHY I SAID THAT: Direct object of the verb do know.

WHOEVER CALLS: Indirect object of the verb give.

WHATEVER YOU DECIDE: Direct object of the verb will go

HOW A MUSICIAN GETS TO CARNEGIE HALL: Predicate nominative renaming the subject practice.

Answer 2

A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a predicate and forming part of a compound or complex sentence.

The following example sentence contains two clauses:
"It is cold, although the sun is shining."
The main clause is "it is cold" and the subordinate clause is "although the sun is shining".

So, in your first sentence, the clauses would be "the big green parrot speaks" and "to whoever comes into the house".
