difference between phrase and clause who give the answer I will mark as brainliest

Answer:
A phrase is a group of words in a sentence that does NOT contain a subject and a verb. In other words, in a sentence, one part with subject and verb is a clause while the rest of it without those two parts of speeches is a phrase. Example: ... He is playing is a clause (subject+verb) and in the field in a phase.
Answer:
Every sentence is constructed of clauses and/or phrases, but sometimes it can be tricky to tell the difference between a phrase and a clause.
Both phrases and clauses contain groups of two or more words and help us to make sentences, but they both have different roles. To help us understand the difference between them, we should define them both individually first.
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb.A phrase is a group of words, but it doesn't contain a subject and a verb.
A sentence can exist as a single clause, but a single phrase can't make up a sentence. Phrases add meaning to sentences but they can't create a sentence on their own.
Clauses, on the other hand, are necessary. Removing a clause from a sentence may affect the understanding.
Here is a simple example of a sentence that uses both a phrase and a clause:
Wherever you go, I will follow.
'Wherever you go' is the phrase, and 'I will follow' is the clause.
'Wherever you go' doesn't make sense on its own - it's not a completed thought. But, 'I will follow' contains both a subject and a verb - 'I' and 'follow', respectively. It's a complete thought and we don't need any more words to understand the meaning of the sentence.
