Phrases, Independent and Dependent Clauses
A phrase is a group of words that has either a subject or a verb, but not both. A clause is a group of words with its own subject and verb. There are two types of clauses: independent clauses and dependent clauses. An independent clause expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence. A dependent clause has a subject and a verb, but it does not express a complete thought. Therefore, it cannot stand alone as a sentence.
