(p. 141) Certain verbs (along with phrasal verbs and adjectives that take prepositions) must be followed by a noun phrase + that (the fact that, the idea that, the possibility that...) Such verbs include: accept, conceal discuss, disregard, dispute, overlook, hide, and support. 

    6. see list of verbs that frequently take noun clauses on page 142.

    7.     In noun clauses following verbs of indirect speech, the VERB TENSE in the noun clause changes to past time when the tense of the main verb changes to past. (KEEP IT PARALLEL)

    9. The BASE FORM of the verb is used in a noun clause after verbs expressing an idea, such as  demand, recommendation, requirement, advice or explanation.

    Improve your writing:
    Emphasis: So... That, So Many...That, and So Much ... That
    To emphasize an adjective or adverb, use so+adjective or adverb. Then add that. 
    Example: 
    I was so exhausted last night that I could not finish my homework.

    NO OTHER WORD ORDER WORKS FOR THIS: 
    NOT: I was exhausted that
    NOT: I was exhausted in that
    NOT: I was exhausted so that]]>     2019-10-09 03:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ksuh/4b7brjo3jtmb/wish/395396632     Let me highlight problem 1 on page 133 ksuh https://padlet.com/ksuh/4b7brjo3jtmb/wish/395399661 An Adverbial Clause is connected to an independent clause with both a subordinating conjunction an a coordinating conjunction]]> 2019-10-09 03:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ksuh/4b7brjo3jtmb/wish/395399661 Problem 7 ksuh https://padlet.com/ksuh/4b7brjo3jtmb/wish/395399946 The future tense has been used in an adverbial clause of time
