Answer 1

The main difference between a phrase and a dependent clause is that a phrase does not contain a subject and a verb, while a dependent clause does contain both a subject and a verb. A phrase can be standalone in a sentence, but a dependent clause cannot stand alone and needs to be attached to an independent clause to form a complete sentence.
