Explanation:

• Phrase is a group of words without a subject and verb and clauses are a group of words with the subject and verb.
• A sentence is incomplete without a clause. It adds meaning to the sentence.
• Single clause can be considered as a sentence but only a phrase cannot make a sentence.
• For example, in the sentence "Whenever you say, I will listen", "Whenever you say" is a phrase and "I will listen" is a clause. The clause "I will listen" had a subject 'I' and a verb 'listen'.
• Types of phrases are noun phrase, verb phrase, participle phrase, prepositional phrase, etc and types of clauses are independent and dependent.
• Principal and subordinate clauses are independent and dependent clauses, respectively. Principal clause can exist without the subordinate clause but vice-versa is not true.
