Phrases, Independent Clauses, and Dependent Clauses, oh my!

Phrases and Clauses What’s the difference? A clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb. A phrase is a group of words that doesn’t have a subject and a verb.

Phrases and Clauses What is their purpose? We put clauses and phrases together to make sentences of different lengths. A very short sentence has just one clause. A complicated sentence could have several clauses and several phrases.

Phrases and Clauses How do you tell the difference? To determine whether a group of words is a clause or a phrase, just look for a subject and a predicate. –The world’s smallest dog is a Chihuahua This group of words is a clause because it has a subject and verb.

Phrases and Clauses Try another one: –Lives in Kentucky Who or what lives in Kentucky? This group of words doesn’t have a subject, so it is not a clause; it’s a phrase.
