Clause

Hello,

I am very much confused about the terms a clause and a sentence.

According to the definition in my book , a sentence has a subject and a verb and the same time a clause also have a subject and a verb.

Are both a clause and a sentence the same?

I don't know how to distinguish between them.

Could any one here clear this doubt?

Thanks.

A sentence can consist of a single clause: Luke prepared the meal. Emma washed up. A sentence can also consist of two or more clauses: Luke prepared the meal and Emma washed up.
