题目

请问为什么这两句话,1句是名词性从句（noun clause）,而一句是定语从句（relative clause）?
1.The party [which Pat said that Chris was going to this weekend ] is at Sandy's 这句中[which Pat said that Chris was going to this weekend ] 是relative clause.
2.The man [sitting at the desk] is the clerk.
这句中sitting at the desk 是noun clause
3.The fact [that he didn't attend] has everybody puzzled.
这句中that he didn't attend是noun clause.
第2句中sitting at the desk所担当的成分和另外两句有什么不同?它也有先行词阿,难道这部应该是定语从句吗?
