"i knew the name of the boy" this sentence phrase or clause
Answers
"I knew the name of the boy" is a clause.
- A clause is a collection of words with a subject-verb unit. This means that they always have a subject and a verb in relation to the subject. They can be sentences or parts of sentences but they have to have a subject-verb unit. In this sentence we have a subject-verb unit i.e. "I" and "knew". Therefore this sentence falls under the clause category.
- A phrase is a collection of words that do not have a subject-verb unit. However, it acts as part of a sentence. They cannot be a sentence by themselves and require other aspects to come into context. In this sentence, we have a subject-verb agreement so it cannot be categorized under phrase. If the sentence was just "name of the boy", it would be considered a phrase.
