sorry i havent really used this site and im not sure how to repost my question instead of putting it as an answer to my question so heres the repost:

I had to find embedded clauses

I deplore the fact that bats have wings.
--> bats have wings

That Guinevere loves Lorian is known to all my friends
--> Guinevere loves Lorian

This is what someone told me but then i looked at the sample problem:
"Yesterday I noticed my accountant repairing the toilet"--> the answer to this was "my accountant repairing the toilet" which is not a sentence

please help me thank you. (sorry for posting it twice)

See below.

No problem! I'm here to help. Let's break it down and identify the embedded clauses in each sentence:

1. "I deplore the fact that bats have wings."
- Embedded clause: "that bats have wings"

2. "That Guinevere loves Lorian is known to all my friends."
- Embedded clause: "That Guinevere loves Lorian"

Regarding the sample problem, "Yesterday I noticed my accountant repairing the toilet," you're correct that the answer provided, "my accountant repairing the toilet," is not a sentence. An embedded clause can function as a noun within a sentence, but it should make sense on its own.

In this case, you can rephrase the sentence to find the embedded clause:
"I noticed (that) my accountant was repairing the toilet."
- Embedded clause: "my accountant was repairing the toilet"

To find embedded clauses, you need to look for clauses (groups of words with a subject and a verb) that function within another sentence as a noun, adjective, or adverb. It's important to check if the embedded clause makes complete sense by itself or if it needs to be part of a larger sentence for clarity.
