A clause can be a sentence if it has a subject and a verb but not all clauses do.
A clause is a unit structured around a verb phrase.
If you need an example of a clause (this is a conditional clause), see the link below.
'However, there is a slight clause to the contract.'

∙ 13y agoEach clause in a sentence has to have a subject and an action (verb). An example would be something like "the dog barked." The dog is the subject of the clause (and in this case, of the whole sentence), and "barked" is the action, i.e. what he did. Obviously that was a simple one -- a single-clause sentence can get pretty complex if you add adjectives and extra information (i.e. "After running in circles for hours, the dog, delirious and dizzy, barked at its own shadow like it was crazy.")
In compound sentences (more than one clause), you have to think of each clause as a separate subject and action. If the dog barked AND something else happened (the farmer came out of his house, or something like that), then the other activity is the other clause. Basically, look for a co-star in the movie.
Also look for an "and," a "but," a "so," or something that could separate two different actions, with a comma before it. Usually separate clauses are on either side of it.
