Subject clauses, which are introduced by that, what, why, whether, who, which, how and so on, are dependent clauses used as a subject in a complex sentence. Example: What you intend to do is interesting.
1. You are a reporter for your school newspaper. Your assignment is to cover the strike by student workers in the cafeteria. You have just interviewed the president of the university. Below are your notes. Write two complete sentences for each note. First, write a sentence with a subject clause introduced by that. Next, write a sentence with it in the subject position. Example: Students' demands - unreasonable - clear. That students' demands are unreasonable is clear. It is clear that the students' demands are unreasonable. 1) Strike - continue — too long — obvious. 2) Student workers — not need higher wages — apparent. 3) Strike — slow down service — annoying. 4) Students — not want to work for a living — disgusting. 5) Administration — hire new workers — necessary.
