How to make a sentence into subject of the other sentence
Dear All,
I'd like to use a sentence, or sentences as the subject of another sentence.
What kind of grammar can support that scenario.
For example:
Earth is round.
I'd like to say the whole idea represented by above sentence is true.
===> "Earth is round" is true.
So I shall say ...
Earth is round, which is true.
",which" put in the end of a sentence, earth is round, can represent this sentence, earth is round. ?????
or
That earth is round is true.
I know this is a correct way. But, if the "earth is round" is a very long sentance . This approach seems fails.
thanks in advance,
Gabriel
