A clause has a subject and a verb, but a phrase doesn’t have. <\/p>\n
Clause examples: <\/p>\n
Mary sings a lullaby song to her baby.<\/p>\n
Waking up early in the morning is not easy.<\/p>\n
He wants to see her in person.<\/p>\n
Her dog, a pug, pulled her blanket.<\/p>\n
He hid behind the door.<\/p>\n
His shield on fire, he panicked, pressing his controllers up and down and left to right.<\/p>\n
A clause can be dependent or independent clause.<\/p>\n
Example:<\/p>\n
When Jacee heard his father’s condition, he ate his meal and finished it earlier than usual.<\/p>\n
When Jacee heard his father’s condition<\/b> is an adverbial clause.<\/p>\n
But noticed the bolded words, it has a subject which is Jacee and a verb which is heard. <\/p>\n
If when is omitted, it can stand alone as an independent clause.<\/p>\n
However, placing when at the beginning of the clause has made it as a dependent clause which cannot stand alone like phrases.<\/p>\n
Example sentence when when is omitted:<\/p>\n
Jacee heard his father’s condition, so he ate his meal, and finished it earlier than usual.<\/p>\n
As for the phrases, it lacks either a subject or a verb. But usually, it doesn’t have a subject or a verb.<\/p>\n
There are eight types of phrases: noun, verb, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional, and absolute<\/p>\n
