Imagine a sentence as a house. ๐
- Phrase: Like a room in the house – it has some furniture (words), but it can’t function on its own. ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ It needs the rest of the house.
- Clause: Like a complete mini-apartment within the house. It has a living room (subject) and a kitchen (verb), so it can function on its own. ๐จโ๐ณ๐ฉโ๐ป
Here’s the key difference:
- Phrase: Missing a subject OR a verb (or both).
- Clause: Always has BOTH a subject and a verb.
Examples:
- Phrase: “the big red ball” (no verb) โฝ
- Clause: “The dog chased the ball.” (has subject “dog” and verb “chased”) ๐ถ
Think of it this way:
- A phrase is just a PART of an idea.
- A clause expresses a COMPLETE idea (even if it’s part of a bigger sentence).
Easy peasy, right? ๐
