- There is someone, who sings far better - Claue
- In this exercise, you are asked to identify the underlined part of the sentence as either a clause or a phrase. The is a slight error in the sentence where the underlined portions are not underlined.
- A clause is a collection of words that follow the standard subject+verb+object format. It is the main part of the sentence and can be identified as a sentence because of its structure. Therefore the underlined portion of these sentences is the clauses.
- Phrases are a string of words that do not follow the standard subject+verb+object format. They cannot stand on their own as a sentence but rather provide more context to the sentence and is a part of it. Therefore the parts that are not underlined are considered as the phrase.
