what is clauses

Clauses are units of grammar that contain at least one predicate (verb) and a subject. A clause, therefore, contains a single verb group. A clause is different than a phrase. A clause is a group of words with a verb and a subject.

Instances of the same can be seen in italics in the following sentences:

  • He has a chain which is made of gold.

  • I belong to a family which has fifteen members.

  • 4

A clause is a part of a sentence. It is a group of words with its own subject and verb.
