Clause : a group of words that includes a verb and a subject and is a sentence or a main part of a sentence. A clause is a grammatical unit that includes, at minimum, a predicate and an explicit or implied subject, and expresses a proposition. Phrase : a group of words that form a unit within a clause; a group of words that are used together in a fixed expression.
