Phrases and Clauses are different in that a phrase is a group of words that does not contain both a subject and a verb, while a clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb. When I try to determine if a text is a phrase or a clause, I look for the presence of a subject and a verb in the group of words.
R/A Phrases and Clauses are different in that a phrase is a group of words that does not contain a subject and a predicate, while a clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a predicate.
C/E When I try to determine if a text is a phrase or a clause, I look for the presence of a subject and a predicate. If the group of words has both, then it is a clause; if it lacks either the subject or the predicate, then it is a phrase.
R: Phrases and Clauses are different in that a phrase is a group of words that does not have both a subject and a predicate, while a clause is a group of words that does have both a subject and a predicate.
A: When I try to determine if a text is a phrase or a clause, I look for key components such as a subject and a predicate. If the group of words contains a subject and a predicate, then it is a clause. However, if it lacks either a subject or a predicate, then it is a phrase.
