Explanation:

A clause can be defined as a group of words that contains a subject and a verb or verb phrase. A clause contains a subject and a predicate and is part of a longer sentence and it can be the sentence itself.

How do we identify a clause?

Though, clauses come in four types: main, subordinate, relative, and noun.

They all have something in common. Every clause no matter its type and form has at least a subject and a verb.

In each of the group of words above, the presence of a subject and a verb makes it a clause else, it is not.
