In grammar a clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb. All sentences are clauses, but not all clauses are sentences. This is because some clauses are independent, which means they can stand alone as a complete thought. These are the ones that may be a sentence. There are also dependent clauses, which do not express a complete thought and are not sentences. You may access these worksheets related to clauses here.
