Answer 1

Phrases and Clauses are different in that a phrase is a group of words that does not contain both a subject and a verb, while a clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb. When I try to determine if a text is a phrase or a clause, I look for the presence of a subject and a verb in the group of words.
