Phrase, Clause and Sentence

A. Phrase
A phrase is a group of words that stands together as a single grammatical unit, typically as part of a clause or a sentence. It
cannot stand alone as it does NOT contain a subject and a verb. It does NOT give a complete idea. It usually consists of an article,
preposition, or noun. A phrase acts as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb in a sentence so it can also be defined as a group of related
words which lacks a subject and a verb that acts a single part of speech in a sentence.
Examples: -on the table (no subject, no verb) -finished the task (no subject) -Kristine and her friends (no verb)

B. Clause
A clause is a group of words having both subject and a verb. It can sometimes act as a sentence but is not always the
case.

Two Types of Clauses

An independent clause is one that can stand alone as a sentence. It requires no extra information to understand. It has a
subject, a verb and a complete thought.
Examples: (in bold letters)
After I die, I will be forgotten.
I love my country, so I will make sure to protect its sovereignty.
When we pay our taxes diligently, it shows that we love our country.
 Meanwhile, a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone as a sentence. It is called dependent clause because it
needs to be attached or joined to an independent clause. It is a supporting part of a sentence. Dependent clauses begin with
subordinating conjunction such as before, if, when, after, so, hence, therefore, since, because, so that, etc.
The boldfaced clauses have a subject and a verb, but the idea or thought is incomplete.
After I did my best to study, I received high marks.
Because I woke up late, I was not able to pass my projects on time.
Before you leave the classroom, make sure to turn off all the lights.
C. Sentence
A sentence is a set of words that contains a SUBJECT (what the subject is about or the topic of the sentence) and a
PREDICATE (what is said about the subject). As such, a sentence contains a subject and a predicate. It expresses a complete
thought and begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop-a period, a question mark or an exclamation point.
Examples: Everyone needs food. Are you okay? Look out!
I like you. I study hard.
When the teacher makes the subject fun, we learn a lot.
As a boy scout, you should know how to pitch your tent.
She failed to read the directions that is why she got lost.
