Answer 2

Clauses

A quick revisit of our grammar lessons tells that we group different words like adjectives, verbs, nouns etc. to form a sentence. Technically, a sentence is a group of words that makes complete sense by itself. We might also be familiar with phrases.

In contrast to a sentence, a phrase is a group of words that doesn’t have a subject, a predicate, finite verb and also is not independently meaningful. We need to use a phrase in a sentence to add meaning to it. A phrase can find use as an adjective, noun or adverb.

We can say that clauses lie somewhat in the middle of sentences and phrases. Technically, a clause is a group of words which have their own subject, predicate, finite verb and may or may not be independently meaningful. Further, clauses are of two types- principal or independent clause and subordinate or dependent clause.
