Phrases and clauses (Grammatical names and Functions)
Basically, phrases are without finite verbs(verbs that change in tense and number e.g is-was, are-were, sing-sings-singing-sang etc) while a major indicator of clauses is the presence of a finite verb. Eg(phrase): The beautiful girl (no finite verb) Eg(clauses): * James *came* to school late(main clause) * because he *woke* bike man disappointed him(Subordinate clause) NB: You can note the presence of the finite verb 'came' and 'woke' in both the Main clause and the Subordinate clause.Also note, phrases can only form a part of a sentence. Eg. *The beautiful girl* slapped the naughty boy. In the above, the phrase acts as the subject of the sentence which is just a part of the sentence. But in the case of a clause, it can make a complete sense or sentence (as in the Main clause) Eg: The totality of this previous sentence can also serve as a clause (main) *The beautiful girl slapped the naughty boy* (Remember what made it a clause is the presence of "slapped" - finite verb) A Clause can also form a part of a sentence as a subordinate clause. Eg: The beautiful girl slapped the naughty boy *before the teacher entered the class* In the above, "... before the teacher entered the class." is just a part of the sentence which is a subordinate clause. And what made it a clause is the presence of "entered"- finite verb)
