Question

What is the difference between phrases and clauses?(How to differentiate between them?)

Answer 1

Explanation:

A clause is a group of words with a subject-verb unit; the 2nd group of words contains the subject-verb unit the bus goes, so it is a clause. A phrase is a group of words without a subject-verb unit.

Answer 2

• A clause is a group of words with a subject-verb unit; the 2nd group of words contains the subject-verb unit the bus goes, so it is a clause. A phrase is a group of words without a subject-verb unit.

• However, there is an easy way to tell if you're using a phrase or a clause. The main difference is that clauses
• have both a subject and a predicate; phrases do not. Phrases are part of clauses. They add meaning to sentences, but the sentence can exist without a phrase.
