To determine the difference between a clause and a phrase, you need to understand their definitions.
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and can express a complete thought, thereby functioning as a complete sentence or as a part of a sentence. It can stand alone and make sense by itself. For example, "She is reading a book."
A phrase, on the other hand, is a group of words that does not contain a subject and a verb. It does not express a complete thought and cannot stand alone as a sentence. Phrases are used to modify other parts of a sentence. For example, "under the table" or "in the morning."
By comparing the definitions, you can see that a clause has a subject and a verb, while a phrase does not. Therefore, the correct answer is that "A clause has a subject and a verb, but a phrase does not."
