A clause is a group of words with a subject and a predicate that express a thought or an incomplete thought, depending on the type of clause.

# data[].attributes.body
The main difference between a clause and a sentence is that sentences always tell a complete meaning, whereas the clause doesn't.

Clauses are not phrases. A phrase can express a thought without a subject or a predicate.

There are two types of clauses: INDEPENDENT CLAUSE & DEPENDENT CLAUSE.

# data[].attributes.body
An independent clause has a subject and a predicate. It can stand alone as a sentence since it conveys a full thought or idea. The independent clause can also be part of a sentence and serve as a noun, adjective, or adverb.

A dependent clause is also a group of words that make up an incomplete thought, but help develop the complete thought. In other words, the dependent clause is part of a sentence and cannot stand alone to express meaning.
