Question

difference between phrases and clause with example

Answer 1

if you are unsure whether a group of words is a clause or phrase, break down the words into the parts of speech to help you decide. If there is a subject and a verb with a predicate, it is a clause. If there is a noun but no verb or a verb but no noun and does not have a predicate, it is a phrase.

Answer 2

A phrase is a group of words which do not contain subject or verb. A phrase is not a complete sentence and it doesn't make any sense.
Example:- "to improve standards"
A clause is a group of words which contain a subject and verb.
Example:- Johnse likes cats.
