Explanation
Phrase
A group of words without a finite verb is called a phrase. A phrase is usually a part of a sentence. Examples of phrases are: ‘a red bicycle’ and ‘on ‘Saturday evening’.
Clause
A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb. Simple sentences have one clause; compound sentences have two or more independent clauses; and complex sentences have two or more than two independent and dependent clauses.
Sentence
A simple sentence is made up of only one clause. It has just one subject and one predicate.
